I've just moved from Iran to Switzerland. No wonder I feel better.
Just moved from Brazil (soon to be the new Bangladesh) to Greece. I don't know how I feel about that. Of course, I apparently work on the Pakistani stock exchange, so living in Greece may not be my biggest concern.
there are many mistakes in the map. the most obvious example is writing Turkey for Washington. Washington has a population below 7million and GDP per capita in Washington is around $50.000 which makes GDP of Washington around $350billion, whereas Turkish GDP is almost $700billion.

This explains all the Norwegians in Minnesota. Uff da!
Actually, this map might be even more interesting for GDP *growth*.
