Public expenditure as a proportion of GDP.
Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

That is one of the 2.

I think I will let someone else guess the other one, and devise the next map.

State or Canton expenditure as a portion of GDP
I am fairly sure that is included in public expenditure, so no.
A little bit more specific.
No. More the what rather than the who.Public and George Soros investments
No. Here is the leader table of just that:
Code:
> data.frame(tail(world_tmp[order(world_tmp$second_value),c("name","value","second_value")], n = 10))[c(1,3)]
name second_value
8 Argentina 3.965538
105 Israel 3.976223
225 Uruguay 4.017336
161 Netherlands 4.333051
15 Australia 4.394454
40 Chile 4.580939
178 Paraguay 4.965759
32 Brazil 5.414530
226 United States 10.564632
39 Switzerland 15.787526

153 Malaysia 1.2257552

Taxes?
No. That would basically be Government expenditure - Deficit? This is a value that makes a lot of sense to add to Government expenditure to get a value that is comparable around the world.
Deficit?
No. I was not being that easy.
I am kind of amazed what I have said has not made it obvious. I shall try rephrasing it:
- I have plotted a value that I think is more informative across countries than either individually.
- To get that value, I have added two numbers together.
- One is % of GDP spent by the state.
- The other is really high in the US and Switzerland.

I'm sorry I was kinda busy and didn't get time to think, but I feel kinda addressed with Switzerland here.
Unfortunately, the only thing that I can think of right now as similarities is Guns available, and I'm not sure how you can link the two.
Or it may be healthcare system expenditures. I know we spend a lot of money there as well, fortunately we get some quality care in return, whereas the American one is just expensive, without the benefits. ;-)

You win. The second value is % GDP spent on private healthcare.
I was surprised how similar the US was to the UK total.

I feel bad for stealing it from under the nose of all those that guesses first, while I just scrolled past.
Im going to sleep now, and will only get around to post something by tomorrow (late) afternoon, so if anybody's got something interesting, go for it. I do have some interesting maps saved though, though nothing as fancy as @Samson has done here.
