Rankings below the fold, via the third link, of course.

Texas’ economy is significantly smaller, exactly half of California’s, as its GDP compares to that of Canada (#10, $1,08 trillion).
Florida also does well, with its GDP comparable to Asian tiger South Korea’s (#13 at $786 billion).

Yeah, I'm currently trying to fix them.

Weird. Should be fixed now.

Froz, notice what state is our President of the Senate and occasional delegee of executive functions from?

The correlation with Uzbekistan is an uncanny fortuity, as Cheney manifests a similar predilection for authoritarian control.

Sorry, this isn't very plausible on its face. New York has a smaller economy than New Jersey? Uhh... No.

So... France *is* the sixth largest economy after all (followed by Italy and Spain at about half its size), and the economy of Brazil (New York) *is* considerably larger than that of Russia (New Jersey). Don't know how accurate the map is -- there's certainly some rounding going on -- but the big errors seem to be in the commentary.

Actually, maybe I take that back. Brazil is only a little bigger than Russia, while New York's economy is more than double New Jersey's. Who the heck knows what's going on here. I'm not going to waste more time on this.

I'm more interested in the new and exciting wars this map offers. Turkey/Israel jumps out at you, but it's a bit obvious. However, Bangladesh/Belgium? Peru/Finland? South Africa/Mexico? It's pure awesome.

And then there's the Muslim crescent surrounding Chilessippi.

Given that the map lists Hong Kong as a separate country, it's entirely possible that it was created before 1997 when Hong Kong went back to China and oil cost $20 a barrel. That'll certainly shift around relative GDPs.

What's with all these square states totally bringing the low-rent economies? Some red staters need to step it up if they want to be taken seriously as capitalists.

We will liberate Croatia and restore its name to South Ecuador.
