Introducing Strange Maps

GDPPDQ, OK?



Due to the initiative of a certain Celebrity Series staffer (this one's for you, LJ), there has been more than a little discussion of the science of economics 'round these parts in recent weeks. It is in the spirit of econ chit-chat that I share with you a most unusual map (above, but click here for a larger version) and a most unusual, and apparently quite popular, blog (here). The map matches, and renames, the US states with the countries most closely matching their Gross Domestic Product. The kind of fun only economists can truly enjoy!
