US State to Country GDP Comparison

As posted in The Economist:



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.

Gross Domestic Product.

It's how much goods/services are produced per year in a country.
