If you're driving 3 days straight in eastern Montana maybe you need a better map.

Russia eh? Just based on their oil?

Speaking of which the USSR had less GDP than Mexico in 1980? Crazy.

That's adjusted for PPP. Nominal rates show a different ranking - Russia typically ranks below Italy.

Not sure about Italy but joining the Euro kind of killed France if we are going to talk PPP.

Don't see the connection.

Almost simultaneous to it being adopted it took a nose dive in all these PPP lists. And we know the French economy does not expand or contract rapidly. It is a slug.

Nothing's wrong with them. I just think it's an amusing cultural difference.

Well it has not changed hardly at all in terms of its nominal rank. So...

I thought it was very interesting.  Just as I found all the Frenchies around Quebec City playing baseball and going to county fairs interesting.

I did find one airport btw. It's got one building and you can park next to it in the grass. The building is the size of a very small house, maybe 1000 sq/ft. Two flights a day. Both to Billings.
