America likes to compare itself to the
worldwide an was mentioned in last
week's video about how most Americans
haven't even left the United States I
thought it would be worth it to take a
look at each state in the US and
compared them to the rest of the world
and see just where they stand on the
world stage of course with so many
Americans having not left the United
States it can be hard to take the size
of other continents in context I mean
how often has an American plan to
European itinerary that looks something
like this ain't no way you're doing that
in two weeks of course this could also
be helpful for non-americans looking for
a sense of scale for the United States
compared to other countries around the
world now that you think about it with
that being said let's go through a list
of every state in the United States and
see where each of them compares by area
population GDP and GDP per capita other
countries around the world as dictated
by these maps from this cool link
although the area statistics are from
the true size calm also a cool website
anyway let's just siphon Alabama has an
area comparable to doubt Greece a
population similar to New Zealand a GDP
comparable to Czechia and a GDP per
capita of also Czechia Alaska is similar
to Libya and fiscal size beyond are
pretty big Bhutan in population
Bulgarian GDP and Switzerland in GDP per
capita Arizona is comparable in size to
Italy really okay in population to
petabyte GDP and presumably claim that
to Egypt and in GDP per capita to again
also Italy yeah I totally didn't forget
to record this first time Arkansas can
be compared in these metrics and I'm
already getting tired repeating to
Greece again Armenia Ukraine and Czechia
well we notice a trend of southern
states secretly trying to be like
Czechia and probably but it's more of a
weak correlation if you ask me
California will of course soon the world
world but for now we can compare them to
Iraq in both size and presumably climate
Canada Brazil and Germany kind of we're
now Los Angeles and Berlin are basically
different planets though Colorado can be
compared pretty easily with New Zealand
Norway Israel in Austria Connecticut
with the Bahamas Ottawa heo a in Hong
Kong which is an actually real country
but yeah I guess it counts right
Delaware was Brunei Fiji Luxembourg hey
I've been there and Switzerland yeah
sometimes these little guys can hold a
big financial secret I don't know how
much static cents Delaware though
sure they are attacks even but I think
their biggest exporter recent years has
been Salmonella Academy
yes Florida is comparable in these
metrics to Suriname Romania the
Netherlands and Italy Georgia is
Bangladesh his size Chucky is population
Norway's GDP Japan's GDP per capita and
Georgia's name
Hawaii is about the size of Guinea the
equatorial one has population of baharon
the GDP of Belarus and the per capita
GDP of Denmark
Idaho's comparable to Guyana Estonia
Luxembourg and Czechia Indiana is like
Hungary paralyzed Singapore and France
in that yeah I got nothing I just wanted
to make things out of them more Illinois
is similarly sized populous GDP and GDP
per capita to Bangladesh Belgium Turkey
and Germany respectively Iowa can be
compared to Tajikistan that this is
probably the only time we've thought
about these places at once as lost
Mongolia in so many ways Kuwait and
Belgium Kansas is like Guiana Albania
Hungary and Finland even though it
really isn't similar to any of those
places at all
Kentucky compares well to Iceland
Croatia New Zealand and Spain Louisiana
is best like in the Greece Ireland
Ireland again and Australia Maine has
similarities to Portugal Bahrain Croatia
and South Korea Maryland's my birth
state statistics correlate some more
well with those in Moldova Nicaragua
South Africa in Austria Massachusetts
can be easily compared with Haiti El
Salvador Austria in Ireland Ireland
Europe's Boston Michigan is comparable
to Guinea the regular one Hungary
Austria and New Zealand Minnesota is
said to go with Guyana Finland obviously
Denmark and the Netherlands Mississippi
correlates with North Korea wanna talk a
bit of a turn as well as with Albania
Slovakia and Portugal Missouri compares
easily to Cambodia Lebanon the
Philippines and New Zealand
montina somehow correlates with Japan
Cyprus Lithuania and Spain Nebraska
compares well to Kyrgyzstan again have
you ever thought about these places at
the same time and also Latvia Morocco
and Sweden well that's in GDP per capita
good for them I guess
Nevada is comparable in size and
presumably climate to Burkina Faso and
nothing else except these breached urban
statistics to Jamaica Hungary and
Finland
I've heard New Hampshire pairs well with
Djibouti Estonia Luxembourg and Iceland
New Jersey shares some select common
features with believes Austria Sweden
Ireland New Mexico is comparable to
Poland like I said an old video where
you probably don't want to see Sylvania
Ecuador and Spain
New York in some ways resembles
Tajikistan geo a South Korean
fun fact Irish Americans also make up
around 5.3 percent of New York City's
population North Carolina also seems to
pair well in science with Tajikistan but
its other three countries are Portugal
Norway and the UK which is where I'll be
going next month fake on ok back to the
education North Dakota apparently pairs
well with Syria Putin Bulgaria and Hong
Kong all the while looking like Canada
Ohio compares to Eritrea Bolivia Nigeria
and Japan Oklahoma somehow compares to
Cambodia Bosnia and Herzegovina whose
name is a pain in the ass of typing on
sparkle Vietnam and New Zealand organist
just like Ecuador Panama Portugal and
the Netherlands wait a minute the
Netherlands I knew it Parliament is just
a healthier version of Amsterdam exist
that Pennsylvania is about the same size
in Malawi well really well always as big
as Pennsylvania well I guess I put
southern Africa into context for me but
Pennsylvania can also be compared to
Cuba's what's wind in the UK which is
where I'll be going next month fake
Colin Rhode Island is best approximated
to Cape Verde as this guy Quayle got
right as well as to Fiji or Hawaii and
Finland South Carolina compares well to
the United Arab Emirates Costa Rica
Romania and again Czechia South Dakota
is similarly sized to what seems to be
estoppel ganger Kyrgyzstan but also
compares to Fiji Serbia and Australia
Tennessee equates both to Guatemala El
Salvador Israel and Japan Texas is about
the size of Myanmar but otherwise
comparable to Australia Australia again
and Australia Utah sizes up well against
seemingly every estates favorite analog
Guyana as well as was Lithuania Hungary
and France but at least he made a couple
more unique pics Vermont doesn't differ
much from Macedonia Montenegro Bolivia
and Japan Virginia seems to parallels
Bulgaria oh what a coincidence
Israel Austria and the Netherlands
Washington correlates well with Syria
Bulgaria Austria and the Netherlands
I can't just Gilbert from the organ
scene in Seattle he's serious Portland
and Seattle are not 20 minutes apart
West Virginia is comparable to Latvia
Latvia again Luxembourg and Slovenia
Wisconsin doesn't contrast' much from
Suriname finally something other than
Guyana
Denmark Hong Kong and France finally
Wyoming converts to Ecuador Luxembourg
Panama and
of course all this may not teach us all
that much it does put the skill of
America States and some of the small to
medium-sized countries of the world into
context with each other which I
personally feel is good for the people
on both sides of the us's borders I mean
no European would drive from Sevilla to
Moscow just as any sane American
wouldn't drive the similar distance from
Washington DC to Portland Oregon well
okay I actually have driven this once
but I think he at my point but the size
of the other continents isn't always
obvious at first which i think makes
this invaluable to planning trips and
things like that of course what you do
with the other face of Texas is sending
