Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1975–2024. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 47 of the 50 years between 1975 and 2024 for Papua New Guinea. The missing 3 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
