That's exactly why I would downvote this if I could. It's a misleading article that he stolen from someone else (because I've seen this many times on different blogs) and has tons of bogus data that no one checks.
About Russia: In 1987 the GDP was:
USA : 5,093,396
USSR: 1,965,457
P.S. nukes don't care about GDP.
P.P.S. In 2007 EU had a GDP of $16,574 trillion and USA: $13.794 trillion. So it would be easier to make a map the other way around.
- pg 19y agoWhere's the map stolen from? We can switch the link to the original source.
- Dauntless 19y agoI don't know what is the original source... http://www.google.com/search?q=US+States+Renamed+For+Countries+With+Similar+GDPs http://www.google.com/search?q=US+States+Renamed+For+Countri... I may have been too fast to judge that it isn't the original, because it's very popular and being just another blog didn't seem extremely accurate... I can't edit that out now anyway.
- mdemare 19y agoHere's the data: countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) us states: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_(nominal) It doesn't seem extremely inaccurate. I'd compare California with Italy, not France, and Texas with Brazil, not Canada. And Russia's economy is more New York than New Jersey.
