Measurments of Government Spending

Postby Jutsa » Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:21 am

Hello~

I'm not exactly a frequent comer, here in Technical, but I had wanted to ask a question because I noticed this for the first time.
For reference, iots are my national currency.

(If it's been there forever and I never noticed it, then I'm a cluts, but that's not why I'm here)

I was actually wondering why the system to track government spending is so odd.
I mean, I've calculated that 15.6%(my spending for health care) of my 272 trillion currencies(all government spending) is 43.432 trillion currencies,
yet, as in the image, it says I only spend 9,776.43 currencies. That's quite a difference,
and I was wondering if there's a reason for that or if it's something that could and/or should be changed.

Er - that's all. Hope I'm doing this right. :blush:

I'm pretty sure this is spending per person, so nations with different populations can be compared fairly.

It is per capita spending that is being shown.

I fixed the labels, which in this case should have been "Clooney Contribution Index" rather than "Iots."

But yes, this ranking, like quite a few of the economic ones, is measured in units of currency of spending or output per person.

Clooney Contribution is for foreign aid. Regardless, thank you for fixing the indices.
