If that's the situation look at Germany population of 81 million or Japan population 127 million (Wikipedia). Germany has the fifth (CIA factbook) largest economy in the world and Japan is third. Japan has a very high percentage of elderly who probably don't work so Japan's workforce may only be half or a third of the population (excluding babies, children, prisoners etc). That's pretty humbling when compared to 300 million or China's 1.2 billion, of course adjusting for elderly, children too.
