Economically France is just a colony of Paris while Germany is much more diverse (G-Econ) is a collection of maps which show economic activity in countries. A higher spike means more productivity. The maps are pretty easy to understand and
each country has its own map. (Hat tip:

Ukraine is interesting. Other than Kiev, the supposedly "Western" and Ukrainian half is much poorer than the Russian half. I would assume that's natural resources, but it still surprised me.
ReplyDeleteI guess when Ukraine was being "built up" the Soviets thought it best to give the commanding heights of the economy to the Russian sector.
ReplyDeleteIs the value (especially the height of the cones) on this map relative or absolute? Cuz by just looking at it I can't tell the difference between Japan and Zimbabwe, which shouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteThe cones only use intra-country data.
