I would think that it depends, does New York spend more total, or a higher %? If it is just more overall but a lower % the the population size makes no difference. Also if they spend a higher % and more overall then does the population size make any difference here? It reminds me of Desert Storm/Shield there was one African (I think) nation that only sent one infantry company to be part of the coalition. Several of the troops I knew were saying that was a joke and a slap in the face, sending so few. But when you looked at their total military it was only about a battalion in all. So they were sending a higher % than any other force.
