Big Defense
If one year's worth of the U.S. budget for military spending were used to pay for Nicaragua's military spending at their current rate of spending, how long would it last?

Answer: 16,477 years.

Explanation: According to Wikipedia, the U.S. (the world's largest spender on military) spends more than 6 times as much as the second highest spender, China. ($687,105,000,000 compared to $114,300,000,000.) This is also more than the #2 through the #21 spenders combined! (In descending order: China, France, U.K., Russia, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Italy, India, Brazil, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Spain, U.A.E., Turkey, Israel, Netherlands, Greece, and Colombia). Nicaragua spends $41,700,000 on defense.
