A map. Because maps rock. US states renamed to countries with similar GDPs. Rebekah - 15/09/2011 03:28:54 PM 973 Views

Mine's Belgium

How can that be true Sareitha Sedai - 15/09/2011 03:57:23 PM 624 Views

Exactly! Darth_Katie - 15/09/2011 10:17:50 PM 627 Views

OH, I love OH, but mostly because it's boring Isaac - 15/09/2011 11:06:36 PM 581 Views

Well then Texas as Brazil makes perfect sense

Which just goes to show... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:23:27 PM 655 Views

That's pretty awesome. Nate - 15/09/2011 04:09:38 PM 630 Views

I think they're pretty solid. Stephen - 15/09/2011 05:25:05 PM 677 Views

I'm back in Russia! This is really cool. Wouldn't have thought that Florida = = Australia. Vivien - 15/09/2011 08:06:06 PM 628 Views

They mean their GDP in absolute numbers is close to the same size? Legolas - 15/09/2011 08:10:00 PM 657 Views

Puts TX in pretty good shape though. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:47:19 PM 679 Views

it would if the map was accurate random thoughts - 16/09/2011 05:08:03 PM 655 Views

So no more than a gimmick then; too bad. Joel - 16/09/2011 07:56:06 PM 605 Views

I got Turkey. *NM* LordPerrin - 15/09/2011 08:17:11 PM 291 Views

The misspelling of Ecuador bothers me. Spriteling - 15/09/2011 08:53:49 PM 800 Views

The mispelling of mispelling bothers me. *NM* Jasha - 27/09/2011 04:20:27 AM 362 Views

Why does Sweden always have to be the place with a crumbling car industry?

*NM* jh - 15/09/2011 09:02:45 PM 264 Views

Delaware = Bangladesh?! Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:11:42 PM 531 Views

Aren't there about 150 times as many people in bangladesh as in delaware? jh - 15/09/2011 09:19:01 PM 657 Views

that, and how do banks affect GDP? LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 09:37:49 PM 540 Views

The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 528 Views

Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 623 Views

Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 583 Views

my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue

Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 615 Views

Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 213 Views

Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 610 Views

yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 623 Views

That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 300 Views

Sudan would definitely be closer. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:21:00 PM 703 Views

math smath

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 545 Views

There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 653 Views

I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 626 Views

I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 594 Views

As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 825 Views

That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 612 Views

Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 588 Views

Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 672 Views

Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 685 Views

I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 482 Views

Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 553 Views

I have been known to call DE "the Black Hole of Calcutta for incorporation."

Joel - 16/09/2011 03:40:39 PM 619 Views

The united Arab Emirates... and Brazil...eh *NM* Aisha - 16/09/2011 01:00:09 AM 301 Views

Connecticut being the UAE seems pretty appropriate in my mind for some reason ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 16/09/2011 03:08:23 AM 599 Views

Florida?! But that's America's wang! *NM* Colonel Logain - 16/09/2011 01:42:41 PM 306 Views

They prefer "The Sunshine State." Joel - 16/09/2011 07:09:21 PM 594 Views
