GDP map

This is kind of neat. Wyoming is still the 100th richest economy in the world, taken by itself. That's impressive with no more than 500000 people. Far fewer than Uzbekistan. Which is an interesting place with a brutal Soviet-era dictator we supported while we were allowed to use airbases there. Just enough support to get one over on Wyoming. Bastards! California, unsurprisingly, is the largest state, the 8th largest in the world just after France. Yet another reason to hate the Frenchies I guess.
