Yeah, even Iceland, a "developed" country, has almost three orders of magnitude lower GDP! But Iceland also has a tiny population, so maybe we should look at per-capita measures instead. After all, a country with 100 million subsistence farmers merging with another of the same size doesn't suddenly become twice as developed just because there are now 200 million subsistence farmers.
