There’s 15 countries with at least a $1,000,000,000,000 economy (US$ - Gross Domestic Product).
Gross Domestic Product is a monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a year.
United States Japan France United Kingdom Italy Canada Germany Spain China Brazil Mexico India Russia South Korea Australia
The U.S. is such an economic powerhouse that there’s 3 states alone that have trillion dollar economies:
New York, Texas and California.

Man shut up.
Anyway, rocky:
I was surprised to see Mexico and Brazil on the list. However I'm not educated one what their economies propose so yea. But that's really cool That we have 15 countries in the trillion dollar club. What's the next countries coming close to cracking it?

Thanks bro.
Just from living over in Europe, at least with the eye test, I would've thought for sure that Switzerland would be above turkey, Mexico, and Spain.
I never been to any East Asian nations, but didn't know Indonesia was balling like that.
I also thought Saudi would be higher, and Spain would be closer to the bottom of the top 20

Perhaps something to do with population differences? E.g. Switzerland has a much greater economy per capita compared to someone like Mexico.
I'm just speculating. This is all very interesting.

Yeah, that's likely the reason. Like you said, Switzerland has a population of 8M, while Mexico is closer to 125M and Brazil is over 200M. They might have impoverish countries, that's a lot more people around to buy goods and services.

It's interesting that the us and china are the only two in the 10's of trills.
Like...the next country isn't close. At all. And if current trends continue, it will remain that way for quite a while.
That's not bad, especially us being #1 of course, just eye opening.

But that's really cool I'm betting that Mexico and Brazil are on the list primarily because of natural resources that they export, oil, iron, etc. not sexy, nobody really cares where it comes from... but it's worth a lot of money.

quote above by 40: Did you remember to subtract the $20 Trillion debt we have? That is comparing apples and oranges. The GNP is Income, while debt is a liability. That is like saying "I'm in trouble. I have a $100,000 mortgage but I only make $40,000." It's up to the current and future US presidents to pay-off (reduce) the national debt. If that's even a good thing to do. (I don't know)

new york city has 8.4 mill. Switzerland is a small country that brings in a lot of money. They don't have many exports. They make their money in banking and tourism. My mother-in-law was born there. We have gone over to visit at least a dozen times over the years. The MIL moved here after the war and became a citizen. ...WWII for you younger ones, but she and my wife still have family living there. She was the only one to move. She met Pat's father, a USAF pilot who retired a full Bird Colonel.
