Russia being 50% is crazy. how much of that is just the military vs regular government services?
I wonder how much of this is taken up with public health/education depending on how those staff are classified.
My 2 cents: can you use all the screen width for the plot? It seems theres a lot of wasted space and I have to zoom to see the chart from mobile
I want to see the data in Brazil
