The chart above shows the regional economies of the European Union and the United States.  Clearly wealth is distributed far more equally between regions in the US than it is in the EU.

The chart above shows the state economies of the EU and US.  The European Union has the three largest economies as well as the three smallest.  Quite a feat considering there are nearly half as many EU states as there are in the US.

The chart above shows the largest metropolitan economies in the EU and the US that happen to also be among the world's largest 300 metropolitan economies based on the Brookings Institution and have a GDP of over $75 billion.  Below, the chart with the cities in the EU and the US among the world's 300 largest with a GDP of $75 billion or less.

Most states in both the EU and the US do not bother with think tanks so much so, that the entity with the most think tanks by far, is not even a state.  Outside of Washington DC, only the United Kingdom has more than 200 think tanks.

The chart above shows both the change in overall GDP (y-axis) and per capita GDP (x-axis) over a period of 11 years for EU and US states.  All states except for one have experienced growth from 2005 to 2016.  However, several states saw their per capita GDP decrease.

Most states in both the United States and the European Union are slow to pick up on fiber usage with only seven states from both superstates covering over half of their population.  Ten of the top 12 states where fiber is most accessible are from the US.

The European Union and the United States take up large swaths of geography but at the same time are broken down into states that allow for differences within the superstates to be examined further.  Here, the climates that exist in these two entities are broken down by state.  By far the most abundant climates in both entities are the continental and the temperate as classified by the most widely used climate classification system, the Köppen Climate Classification.
