Wait a minute, the Southeast produces ~5x more than the Northeast? Please tell me it's not about (Golf Coast) oil.

- aneesh 18y agoNo, you're misinterpreting it. The Northeast produces more than the southeast. What that map says is that the Northeast's GDP is approximately that of Japan (both ~$4.3 trillion), but $40 billion more than Japan's. Similarly, the Southeast's GDP is $216 billion more than that of the UK (both ~$2.5 trillion).
- scorxn 18y agoI gotcha. So you need to know those countries' GDPs to interpret the graphic. I thought it was a comparison based on land area and that those countries GPDs were roughly equal, which is way off.
