Comparison Between U.S. States And Countries By GDP (nominal)
This is a comparison between US states and countries' nominal Gross Domestic Product. Many of the states of the United States have large Gross Domestic Product (called gross state product) which would rank highly on a list of countries world GDP. For instance, California would have the 8th highest GDP in the world if thought of as a country (not including the US as a whole, if so, it would be 9th). The lowest ranked US state, Vermont, would be 137th out of some 200 countries.
These figures are based on the International Monetary Fund list on List of countries by GDP (nominal) for world GDP, and the List of U.S. states by GDP (nominal) figures.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison, states and/or countries:
“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“In countries where there is a mild climate, less effort is expended on the struggle with nature and man is kinder and more gentle.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
