The definitive GDP map

3 September 2017

I got tired of seeing these horrible maps:

So I decided to combine them all into one to make the Definitive Arbitrarily-Classified GDP Map.

Here are the bounds:

Benchmark	GDP (USD)	Source
California	2.60E+12	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_California
US student debt	1.44E+12	https://studentloanhero.com/student-loan-debt-statistics/
Apple Inc market cap	8.15E+11	Google finance
US military budget	5.22E+11	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States
Apple cash reserves	2.57E+11	https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/02/apples-cash-hoard-swells-to-record-256-8-billion.html
Bill Gates net worth	8.60E+10	https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/richest-people-in-world-forbes/21/
Luxembourg	5.99E+10	World Bank
Vermont	3.11E+10	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP
Estimated cost of Iron Man suit	1.00E+10	http://mashable.com/2013/04/23/cost-to-be-iron-man-3/#rIg0QkqsKGqb

Yes, this may qualify as a shitpost, but it’s a quality shitpost. GDP data came from latest World Bank estimates.
