I'm back in Russia! This is really cool. Wouldn't have thought that Florida = = Australia. Vivien Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 08:06:06 PM
However, I would prefer if this map had a description and footnotes. ex: what do they mean by similar.

E.g. California is now called Italy. And I think it must be New York that is Russia.

Dude.



Also also: if this has already been posted I don't care. :|

it would if the map was accurate random thoughts - 16/09/2011 05:08:03 PM 602 Views

Aren't there about 150 times as many people in bangladesh as in delaware? jh - 15/09/2011 09:19:01 PM 608 Views
that, and how do banks affect GDP? LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 09:37:49 PM 488 Views
The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 476 Views
Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 575 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 535 Views
my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue random thoughts - 15/09/2011 09:47:20 PM 613 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 562 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 191 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 564 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 572 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 276 Views
Sudan would definitely be closer. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:21:00 PM 655 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 495 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 602 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 575 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 542 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 770 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 565 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 536 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 616 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 631 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 432 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 501 Views

The united Arab Emirates... and Brazil...eh *NM* Aisha - 16/09/2011 01:00:09 AM 281 Views
