US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs

The map above breaks down the U.S. GDP into individual state GDPs, and then compares those with countries around the world. One must point out the population of each state is not taken into account with this map. For example, just because Oregon has a GDP comparable to Turkey, the people of Oregon have a higher quality of living because the overall population is less. In other words, it is the same amount of money but just spread around to a smaller population.
