You should be proud. Think of it this way....
Venezuela has 30 million people and is gifted with OIL abundantly.
Washington’s population is FOUR TIMES LESS than Venezuela ( just 7 million ), with only parts of the state with reasonable potential for oil discoveries.
Yet, your GDP is similar.
There’s much to be proud of.
G’day Mate! Apparently I live in “Australia”
