Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Hawaii equal to Nigeria?  No.

That's just the first error I noticed.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

OK, but it's rather out of date, nearly 6 years old. 

We've had a global slump since then, maybe someone to re-gig the figures ?

Russia has the same GDP as New Jersey?  :huh:

The same fashion sense as well.

Heh. Russia GDP = 1.86 Trillion; New Jeresy GDP = $497 Billion.

Map lacks accuracy ...

Must be woefully out of date. I heard about it on The World. Didn't bother to check to see if it's accurate, but probably should have.

New Jersey has never had the economy of Russia.  Nor Hawaii Nigeria...etc.

It's not out of date, it's just wrong.

Ohio= Ausrtalia? Nah. Australia might have more rednecks though. It would be close.

I guess someone wishes the US had that kind of GDP, or maybe this is after the US nukes all those countries?  :hmm:

It's not going to be too long before someone in China starts mapping national GDPs to Chinese provinces.  :D

Course there'll still be the problem of those countries having a tenth the population of those provinces.
