The chart above shows the state and city economies of the European Union.  The largest metropolitan economy, London, would rank seventh if it were a state.  The list only includes the metropolitan areas that are amongst the 300 largest metropolitan economies in the world.

The chart above shows the state economies of US states.  California dwarfs nearly every other state, and with the exception of Texas and New York, California's GDP is more than double of any of the largest state economies.

The chart above shows the largest national economies in the EU.  Clearly, Western Europe dominates the EU with the top three economies all coming from the region and claiming four of the top six largest economies.

The chart above shows the number of Christmas trees produced by each state.  Unfortunately, Christmas tree production is very skewed and thus the chart does not look like a tree.  Oh well, it's the thought that counts.  But still, get it together states that are not Oregon or North Carolina.

The chart above shows the largest metropolitan economies in the United States that happen to also be among the world's largest 300 metropolitan economies based on the Brookings Institution.  Each region of the US has a city in the top four.

The chart above shows the largest metropolitan economies in the European Union that happen to also be among the world's largest 300 metropolitan economies based on the Brookings Institution.  Western Europe dominates in both the number of large economies and the size of each.

The chart above shows the most populous city in each US state and the proportion of that state's population that resides there.  Unlike in the European Union were 14 states have over one-quarter of their population living in the most populous city, only three states do so in the US.  In the US, living in a state's largest city is not as prevalent.

The chart above shows the most populous city in each EU state and the proportion of that nation's population that resides there.  Luxembourg and Malta are obvious outliers due to their size but the rest of the EU still has quite a range from Berlin which only consists of just over one out of every twenty Germans to Riga which consists of just under one out of two Latvians.

The chart above shows the number of annual riders for every kilometer of track in each state.  One million annual riders is the equivalent of 2,740 riders a day.  So the Netherlands has 3,808 daily riders for every kilometer of track while Hungary has 29,452.
