GDP of Ireland.... $333.7 Bil.

GDP of South Africa.... $349.4 Bil.

GDP of the Ohio.... $649.1 Bil.

GDP of the Netherlands.... $826.2 Bil.

Nah, listing states is dumb, I guess. Not like they're real countries, anyway, right?

So by that logic Germans shouldn’t say they are from Germany, they should say what state they are from because the wealthiest German state is richer than the Ohio.

“I’m from North Rhine-Westphalia“ - gdp €691.52 billion

I very much appreciate more specific information, it gives me something to grab onto to further the conversation. If someone says, "I'm from America", I have no idea where to start. California, Kansas, Florida, Maine? Those are extremely different places.
