If each state in the US had the GDP of another country, what would the map of the US look like? Wonder no more, as this link shows us the map of the US with each state labelled by the country which has the closest GDP. Notable highlights include:
- California, it is often said, would be the world’s sixth- or seventh-largest economy if it was a separate country. Actually, that would be the eighth, according to this map, as France (with a GDP of $2,15 trillion) is #8 on the aforementioned list.
- Texas’ economy is significantly smaller, exactly half of California’s, as its GDP compares to that of Canada (#10, $1,08 trillion).
- Florida also does well, with its GDP comparable to Asian tiger South Korea’s (#13 at $786 billion).
