Oh... and I wonder how the EU does on this, I think they are technically first. Just need to hurry up and unite as a single country so we can dominate the worlds economy  |
The EU ($16.566 trillion in 2012) would be around the same as the US ($15.68 trillion in 2012) with a slightly larger population. Per capita, it was first, but once the poorer eastern block joined, the GDP plummeted, followed closely by a massive recession. This will level out over time.
RE the EU becoming one country, this is a massively flawed expectation and would never happen. The cxountries of the EU, put along side the states of the US are on a par. In reality the only difference is the word that we use and the US was set up by europeans who could not longer stand the bickering of their respective nations. New world and old world. There is about as much chance as the EU becoming a country as there is of the 50 US states spliting up and becoming countries in their own right.
