▫ How many different countries in the world contribute to the UN budget out of the 40 billion dollars of the UN budget last year, 7 billion was contributed by the USA, another 10 - 8 countries in the European Union, plus 2.7 billion from China, 2.5 from Great Britain, 2.2 from Japan - and now more than half of the budget from a little more than a dozen countries! Despite all the current geopolitical difficulties, Russia continues to contribute quite high amounts to the UN budget: 451 million dollars last year, 22nd place in the world! As expected, the lowest contributions to the UN come from various island micro-states: French Polynesia has $20,000, the Faroe Islands have $30,000, etc. Among the countries that can be easily found on a map, the anti-leaders include several African countries (Togo, Zimbabwe) and Yemen with contributions of less than $1 million per year.
