Ever wonder what a map of the United States might look like if the states were given the names of countries with similar Gross Domestic Products? Someone did, and the results are above, courtesy of Frank Jacobs over at Big Think and his love of curious, freshly-imagined maps. (For a larger view of the map, along with Frank Jacobs' commentary, click here.)
The most amusing part of this map is that California, which already mimics France in wine, weakness, scarves, and snobbery, also mimics France in GDP.
One important difference between France and California: I haven't heard anyone talking about the French needing a bailout.
