A New View of the United States

No. No way am I living in The Netherlands. No.

TOO LATE

From experience, I can tell you Bangladesh is nothing like NH economically.

Well, yeah. When a country with ~130 million people has a GDP equal to a state of ~1 million people there's bound to be slight economic differences.

It's not per capita?

[profound understanding]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................

Could be interesting to see that one as well (comparing states with countries having a similar GDP per capita), actually.

[Gabu]

Woohoo.  Ohio definitely got one of the best countries on this map.

I'd watch out for them Hawaiians.  They're gonna scam us if we aren't careful.

Okay, I decided to go figure it out myself.  This is state's GDP per capita compared with the country with the closest national GDP per capita:



A lot of states were really, really close together, resulting in many states having the same country allocated to them.

Also, interestingly enough, the United States falls in between 12th (Minnesota) and 13th (California), meaning that the vast majority of states (38, to be exact) has a GDP less than the GDP of the whole country.

Now that is much better.   

Hah, I thought of you when I saw Pennsylvania matched up with Italy.  I thought you'd like that.
