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

Maybe it's measuring per-capita GDP?

No because I think the average Turk isn't as well off as someone living in Washington state. Other obvious ones New Hampshire= Bangladesh ?

Ah, to have all the wealth of Ireland divided between five times the population.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The Economist did this last year:

Some seem weirdly accurate.  Russia and Texas, or Italy and California for example :lol:

Edit:  And by population Texas is Saudi Arabia :o

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
