History
Rank history in Countries with the highest government procurement spending
History appears once this ranking has at least two published snapshots.
Head to head
Netherlands vs Turkey, explained
Netherlands vs Turkey, head to head across 88 shared rankings. Netherlands ranks higher in 35, Turkey ranks higher in 53. On that count Turkey comes out ahead overall, though each ranking measures something different, so the detail below matters more than the tally.
Ranking by ranking: in Countries with the highest government procurement spending, Netherlands is #1 with 20.48 % of GDP and Turkey is #33 with 10.8 % of GDP (Netherlands ahead by 32); in Countries with the largest share of global plastic waste imports, Netherlands is #2 with 13.76 % and Turkey is #1 with 14.24 % (Turkey ahead by 1); in Countries hosting the most refugees, Netherlands is #29 with 283.94 thousand people and Turkey is #2 with 2,390.41 thousand people (Turkey ahead by 27); in Countries with the largest share of global plastic waste exports, Netherlands is #2 with 17.37 % and Turkey is #37 with 0.33 % (Netherlands ahead by 35); in Countries with the highest tomato yields, Netherlands is #2 with 478.89 tonnes per hectare and Turkey is #31 with 80.17 tonnes per hectare (Netherlands ahead by 29); in Countries planting the most new forest each year, Netherlands is #27 with 7.29 thousand hectares per year and Turkey is #4 with 83.3 thousand hectares per year (Turkey ahead by 23).
Within each ranking both entries are measured by the same metric from the same source at the same time, which makes every row a like-for-like comparison. Across rankings the metrics differ, so a lead in one does not cancel out a deficit in another. The rank history chart tracks both entries through every published snapshot of the first shared ranking.
Dates shown next to each ranking are the capture dates of the snapshots used, so you always know how current a comparison is. Each entry also has a profile page listing every ranking it appears in, and each ranking has a quiz if you want to test whether you could have named the top 10.
Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value: each number is fetched from its source, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails the gate, the previous snapshot stays live and the problem is reviewed by a person.
