Here's a map from American Enterprise Institute's Mark Perry that puts America's $16 trillion economy in some global perspective.

The map compares the GDP of U.S. states with other the national GDPs of other nations.

Hercule Poirot is Belgian.

Great. Angola here.

You could look at it that Texas probably has 3 million illegals and other leeches pulling it down ;-)

South Africa is nothing to sneeze at. Approximately $380 billion GDP with almost 5 times the population of Michigan.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

You misspelt “Calipornia” as “California” and “New Yokels” as “New York”.

I live in Cuba (West Virginia), hey that can’t be right, we kicked all the democrats out last election! (maybe the map was made before November...)

[DCBryan1]

South Africa is nothing to sneeze at FOR NOW

They have an explosive race problem now. Many whites have left, and when the natives go MauMau and kill/drive off the whites, SA will be more like ex-Rhodesia.

So imagine the time pressure Obama and company feel to destroy it; they’re still a long way from done.

Yes, ma'am! He and his party still have two more L-O-N-G years to wreak havoc.

Moving from Canada to Australia is a promotion.

And Australia has better beaches but you can still ski there.!

You got that right. THEIR choice so let them live with it.

[cloudmountain]

GREAT flag graphic.

[reg45]

Australia has crocodiles, Canada has polar bears.

[Fai Mao]

“New Yokels” as “New York”.

It’s spelled “Eeeeew Yuck”

[ansel12]

Texas is a state and Australia is a country.

Make Texas a country and see what their productivity would be after a few generations.

The HORDES of illegals wouldn't bother to come here if there were no jobs waiting for them.
CUT out the promise of jobs and illegal immigration would be GONE WITH THE WIND.

“That’s good, but Belgium is not cool. All they have is battlefields, which they didn’t earn except by being between conflicting parties.”

You forgot Waffles, Chocolate and Beer! Man up!

[Tax-chick]

I’m not a man. I like waffles, though.

[X-spurt]

Publick skooled, were ya?

These are total GDPs, not per capita.

The 2012 World Almanac has these figures:

Serbia: GDP $80.1 billion (per capita $10,900).
Croatia: GDP $78.1 billion (per capita $17,400)
