The chart above shows the population density of US states.  Surprisingly, it is not a small state that is the most densely populated, however it does adjoin two major metropolises in New York and Philadelphia.

The chart above shows the population density of EU member states.  As Malta is such a small state, it is not surprising that its population density is so high, but what is surprising is how low Luxembourg's is.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of EU regions per square kilometer of territory in euros.  The Western EU has such a high GDP per area that it is more than double the remaining regions' combined GDP per area.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of US regions per square mile of territory in US dollars.  The Northeast has such a high GDP per area that it would be nearly twice as much as the three other regions combined.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of US states per square mile of territory.  The Northeast does really well in this metric.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of EU states per square kilometer of territory.  Even though Western EU states have relatively large states, they still manage an impressive showing.

The chart above shows the area of each of the US regions.  The Western US is so large that it takes all the three other regions to match its size.

The chart above shows the area of each of the EU regions.  Unlike population distribution and economic might, the land that the four major regions of the Union take up is relatively equal.

The chart above shows the area of each of the EU states.  France, Spain, and Sweden are the only states with over 400,000 square kilometers.

The chart above shows the area of each of the US states.  Alaska and the Western US dominate the American expanse.
