Interesting map: US states renamed for the country with a similar size GDP. Damn. We're big. Except Hawaii and most of the "Red States", of course.

Link to that and lots of other interesting maps here: http://bigthink.com/blogs/strange-maps

Thought you'd like that. And what does Nigeria produce exactly? Maybe some coffee, but it's likely just email scam revenue.

Nigeria has oil, and quite a bit of it.

Well that's something, I suppose.

Comparing Cali to Greece would make more sense.

Lawmakers approved the first phase of the planned 800-mile line this summer, allowing the state to begin selling $2.6 billion in bonds for construction of the first 130-mile stretch of the bullet train in the Central Valley. That approval also allowed the state to tap $3.2 billion from the federal government.
The money is contingent upon completing the first phase of the project by 2017, requiring what officials say is an unprecedented construction pace.

Gosh, I don't see how this could end badly.

The bullet train is little more than a subsidy for law firms.
