So this is pretty cool! Sort of. If you find random bits of information that you can start awkward conversations with cool. And you should. You really should. The folks at The Economist put together a map of the USA that matches each state with an economically comparable nation, using GDP to measure. And we match with Maryland!

The map itself is interactive, so go take a look at that over here. Other fun matches: Russia and Texas! Oman and Alaska (ha)!

Maryland is known for crabcakes and American football, though, so I mean it’s not entirely ideal. Still, we got the east coast.
