Several years ago I ran across a site that listed what each country was assessed. I remember one country that was assessed less than $5,000 a year. I haven't been able to locate that site again. It was amazing to see how little some countries pay.

I pay more in income taxes than some of these countries pay to have a voice in the UN. Unreal.

The way I understand this is that each country pays a certain percentage of their GDP.

The U.N. has a pretty good list here, even detailing what day they received their money. As to contributors at the sub-$5000 level, it appears that the only political unit at that level was the Vatican, at $2,586. The next tier appears to be a slew of tiny countries at $14,360.
