US State GDPs compared to Countries

Found this interesting map of US states labeled with the country whose GDP most closly matches. Kind of an interesting way to show how rich the US is in comparison to most of the world. We often forget how lucky we, as Americans, are to live here. But when you see that we live in a place where the GDPs of individual states rival those of large industrialized countries like Canada and France, it becomes a lot more obvious.
