BB,

This map provides a little better perspective, I think you'd agree.


I don't think this one is accurate.

California is supposed to be equal to Italy or Canada? Italy's is 1.6-1.8trn and Canada's is 1.2-1.3trn. That's a big difference.


Its a little more rough, but its based on purchase power parity income rather than exchange rate "real" currency value.

More or less the same as France.


So, then, Britain and France each make up their own California. And the Netherlands makes up its own Penn. Add Germany and Japan to that mix, whereever they might fit, and the image becomes more and more interesting...


well Germany and Japan have bigger economies than any individual state, so that's why they wouldn't be on this map. Perhaps one of them would match the entire west coast?

And I didn't realize the Hammer had posted the same map on this forum a couple weeks ago. Whoops.

Yes, I realized that when I said it.
