What do you mean by richest and most militaristic?

The US has highest GDP which I would say is a pretty good indicator of richness and has the highest spend on military which I would say was a pretty good indication of militarism.

Now I know - they have the richest etc in teh sidebar.

I'd still have t say the US. The military and richest ones are calced per capita.

On the military side when you have a huge population with a medium per head spend and a tiny population spend you get a much higher overall spend in the 1st case - which means you can have a bigger army with better weapons. So I'd still say US is still tops for most militaristic.

And the richest country is only in there because of other peoples money. That country is basically one big fsckoff tax haven / bank account. So there is loads of money being 'produced' there. And they only have about 12 people who live there so it looks like they have a huge amount per head.

You can do owt with stats man! ;)
