I thought this was a fun graphic. In comparing states to countries, what state would you prefer to live in over the similar country, and what country would you prefer to live in over the state? Are there some comparisons here that surprised you?
For me, I would prefer to live in Idaho than Sudan, but I think I would prefer Finland to Wisconsin. Washington and Greece I have no preference.
Ef this I want to stay in North Carolina not Sweden. (sorry but i can't speak swedish)
They put Finland three times! What is the link?
The nearest international point of GDP comparison to those states is the same country.Quote:
