A New View of the United States

[A18]

The name of each state is replaced with that of a foreign nation with a comparable GDP.

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

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

[Colin]

Well Minnesota does seem quite like Norway sans fjords.

Bangladesh's GDP is roughly =~ to NH's GDP.

I guess we need to nuke Alabama then!

Did you read my sentence? The map does not find them to be alike economically, but merely to have GDPs of comparable size. We are not talking about living standards, or any other such thing.

Agreed!

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

TOO LATE

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?

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

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

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

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.

I'd suggest the original map is out of date. Last available figures:
Nevada Total State Product (2006) = $117 bn (per Bureau of Economic Analysis)
Ireland's GDP (2007) = $257.3 bn (per Economist Intelligence Unit)

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

You should be so lucky!  Imagine having a citizenship that actually gave you something.

[MODU]

I'd move to Oklahoma, but only if they swap their women with the women of the Phillipines.

I liked the original more. Any map with Texas labeled as Canada is a winner in my book.

And Ohio is labeled Australia! Perfect.

It's as cold and nasty as the Netherlands today anyway......brrrrrrrrr

Now that is much better.

Now I know why you're running for President.  I'll contribute to your campaign slush fund.

I don't know, I don't consider it a compliment to have my state's economy compared with Italy, the closest that western Europe comes to an economic basket case.

[Gabu]

Now that is much better.   

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