Interesting map of the US
The Economist has a fun map of the United States, showing comparable countries for each state, in terms of economic activity.
Rob - I just did a quick Google search and both Bangladesh and Nigeria have about 150 million people, so while their standard of living is much lower, the overall GDP is comparable.
That is interesting. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeletePleased to see that TN matches to Finland. But what's up with Mississippi = Bangla Desh and Alabama = Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteAimee - I'm glad you enjoyed the map.
