	wait so the united states spend more or do saudi arabia? because the rank and share don't match or else i just don't understand

	The rank must be based on total amount spent. The share, obviously, is the percentage.

	@Caius: I think the ranking is according to billions of dollars spent, not share of GDP - and I think that the amount of money is more interesting than the GDP share (maybe the quiz creator should change it?). The US spent $698 billion in 2010, more than the rest of the list combined. China, at 2nd place, "only" spent $119 billion.

	Does anyone know where North Korea would feature on this list? I'd be interested to see what their % GDP spending is.

	Great quiz — I think it’s very interesting having both the total cost and the proportion of GDP included. Typo: the share for Italy is currently missing its % sign.

	US State department says that its estimated at 25% for North Korea, which would still only put it at around the $7 billion mark based on estimates for their GDP

	Seeing China as #2 kind of makes me nervous.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@moley-north korea probably pays for its military in propaganda leaflets

	@lpw88 - I don't think you have to be American to be nervous about China. looking at their human rights record, I think any person should be fearful of them becoming the dominant world power.

	Seeing Saudi Arabia on this makes me nervous.
