Was just reading some of the comments on The Economist regarding comparing individual states to GDP and population of individual states. They should do one on debt, that would be quite interesting. One post gave a few examples:-
California = Japan
Texas = Britain
New York = France
Also poverty rate per state/country would be interesting.
Everyone check this out:-

Japan is by far the country with the most national debt vs GDP. I was surprised at how much debt India was in.
