The term billion in the US refers to 'one thousand million', whereas, pretty much everywhere else on the globe, it is taken to mean 'one million million', which is a rather significantly larger figure. Now whether or not that is how the above OP calculations were made, I do not know, but if it was a direct comparison of all the nations own reported figures for their GP, it does mean that there could be a rather obvious thing that has been overlooked by the original calculator of the map if he or she was in the US. Not saying that's the case, but it would not be the first time such a mistake has been made.

Any person with half a brain can see that this mistake was not made. Besides, if it were, that would mean the US would have the worlds worst GDP - uhhh hello?
Are you just screwing with us Chock because I wrote that someone would try to say something different? Ha ha. Very funny.
See Camaero! There is a joker in every group! Case proven and closed.
