The European Union is not a country, and it would be irrelevant to put the sum of 27 EU member states. You have a stronger argument for putting NATO as a sum, but for EU, that would be more of a stretch. |

![]() | A fact from List of countries with highest military expenditures appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 September 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:
| ![]() |
Colombia's 2005 military expenditures were more than $7 billion.
here's the source: [1]
it was 13.806278 trillion Colombian pesos which is equal to 7.0508963 billion USD:
Cost of the French Gendarmerie (2006)
For anyone curious, I've just had a look on the french ministry of defence site which stated that the Gendarmerie Nationale's budget in 2006 was around 6,7 billion euros. link (in french): http://www.defense.gouv.fr/defense/enjeux_defense/defense_au_parlement/presentation_auditions/autres/plf_2006_gendarmerie_nationale
Just as a reminder, the french defence budget in 2006 was about 47 billion euros, so this represents 14-15% of the total.
This is just to put a figure on what is said in the article (they are technicaly part of the military but are used most of the time more as a police force).

Poland
31,5 bln USD would be like 10% of Polish GDP. In "Polish Armed Forces" article it's 9,65 bln and this is a good number
Poland budget 2009 is 24,5 bln zloty and is 6,9 bln dollar -currency online 5/4/2009 so 12 bln is fabricated
Proposed Merge: Per Capita Expenditure List into Combined List
I propose we merge List of countries by military expenditures per capita into List of countries by military expenditures, as an extra column in the list. This would allow the combined list to be updated from the same source(s) at the same time. twilsonb (talk) 00:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- That makes sense to me. --Anderssl (talk) 17:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- I support the proposal. I'd also like to see a world map representing military expenditure per capita. Jrvz (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
European Union
I think a row for the EU is nice to have. Something to compare, because the countries differ so much in size.
The absolute number is just the sums of the 27 EU member states from that very table. For GDP I took a 2008 value from the history of the corresponding GDP List Article. best --Erlenmayr (talk) 09:45, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
