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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.
