Then again, California and France does make a good match...
Actually, as a University of Calgary graduate, I was quite happy we got Texas
As a native Coloradan, can't complain too much about Finland.
Hmm, why no North Korea?
Such graphics are entertaining for some people, but awfully pointless.
To compare economic 'power' by using exchange rates is incredibly useless. Purchasing power parity needs to be used for useful information, but it is afaik never being used for such comparisons.
And now some gross, not so entertaining graphics:
The list could go on...
Most (almost 80%) of the U.S. economy is just services that don't really constitute economic 'power'.
PR China's industry is already superior to the U.S. industry (EU's industry is greater as well).
Just in case anybody doubts it; the graphics source was wiki, the industry figures were from CIA World Factbook.

I always found it funny how its always people from California who go on and on about how they have the best wine in the world, and yet they are always ordering high end French wines. Now they can honestly say they order California wine. Personally, I think they are both too damn expensive. Why spend $75 dollars on a bottle of wine that may not even last the meal, when you could drink get descent wine for 12-20 (there are some very nice Chilean and New Zealand wines for less than 15, or you can get great Pinot Grigio for 20) have 55 bucks left over and get yourself a good Scotch that will last you a while. In the end, liquor is a lot more economical than wine. LOL!
Of course you would get Texas. Half the engineers, chemists, etc. are already in Alberta! LOL! Still, too many Albertans do not understand that it might be dangerous to their health tho call a Texan a "Yankee."
