The western United States' borders are not drawn based on the traditional metes and bounds system of delineating borders.  Instead, the borders are drawn based on the Public Land Survey System which people commonly refer to as range and township.  The map above shows what Europe would look like if the continent's borders were drawn based on range and township instead of metes and bounds.

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.

The EU, if it were to ever have a unified military force would see most of its personnel come from very few states.  As can be seen in the map above, Nordic and Baltic countries have a limited number of military personnel.

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.

The correlation between per capita gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) and GDP PPP per area worldwide is moderately weak.  The three largest economies on a per capita basis have a high per area GDP relative to other countries.

The correlation between per capita gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) and GDP PPP per area in Oceania is weak.  The three largest economies on a per capita basis have either a moderate or high per area GDP relative to other countries on the continent.

The correlation between per capita gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) and GDP PPP per area in Africa is moderate.  The three largest economies on a per capita basis all have a high per area GDP relative to other countries on the continent.

The correlation between per capita gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) and GDP PPP per area in Asia is moderate.  The three largest economies on a per capita basis have either a moderate or high per area GDP relative to other countries on the continent.

The correlation between per capita gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity (GDP PPP) and GDP PPP per area in Europe is moderate.  The three largest economies on a per capita basis have either a low, moderate, or high per area GDP relative to other countries on the continent.
