This post is a follow-up to an earlier post, looking at how North Carolina’s GDP compares on the world stage if NC — and the other U.S. states — were independent nations.
I’ve highlighted U.S. states and territories in blue, and North Carolina in red. For a historical look at the ranking, see the earlier post. This ranking is based on current-dollar annual GDP data from the International Monetary Fund and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are not adjusted for population.
