About this Ranking
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the total economic output of a nation and sets the ceiling for potential military spending. Larger economies can sustain bigger defense budgets in absolute terms while keeping military spending as a manageable share of output. GDP is the foundation upon which military power is built.
