The Voronoi diagram below shows us the relative size of each country's economy in terms of nominal GDP. The U.S. continues to lead the global pack, and produces about 23.32% of what the entire world produces.
_________________________
Using another Voronoi diagram, below we see the relative size of each state in the U.S. by economic contribution.
As a side note, we can see from the diagram above that 12 poor(er) conservative states contribute 21.5% of what the U.S. economy produces. Here's a fun fact. They get to send 24 conservative U.S. senators to Washington. On the other hand, California and New York combined contribute 21.4% of what the U.S. economy produces. Now for a real fun fact. California and New York only get to send 4 U.S. senators to Washington. This is one of the reasons why we see a massive redistribution of wealth in the U.S., where America's poorest states end up with more federal tax dollars than richer states - like California and New York.
Finally, below we see how the U.S. would look if we resized each region by the amount a small group of counties contribute to the national economy. The size of the U.S. economy is about $17.4 trillion.
