This chart from The Economist is really interesting.

It lays out a map of the US, labeling each state with the name of a country of the closest to its size in terms of its economy. Texas' economy is the size of Russia's for example, while Michigan's is (still) the size of Taiwan. Vermont logs in at the lowest total, with $25bn, while California has the highest at $1.9 trillion per year.
The alternate tab does the same thing, but for population.

If US States Were Countries - Size of Economies
"The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. . . Are we all in this together or are we all not?" - David Simon, creator of The Wire
