Unfortunately, all of the inflation the Federal Reserve is creating will probably end up causing hyperinflation. Here's a good example of what may occur when that happens:

There are only 20 million people in Australia, despite it having the same land mass as the US, but its GDP was almost $1000 billion, and the US dollar is currently worth exactly the same as the Aussie dollar (trading as I write at 1 for 1). Ohio's GDP in 2009 was about half that ... and with roughly half the population too, so there's common ground for sure but you'd have to go back a few decades.
Things might have changed somewhat, though, with Australia surviving the GFC without any noticeable financial problems or job losses (helps to have so much stuff in the ground that everyone wants and to have China, Japan, Sth Korea, India and the US as your major trading partners). It'd be interesting to see the latest figures, based on thatv fact alone.
However, for all that, even if the map is "a bit" wrong, it's still fascinating.
I did not create this map...i simply stumbled across it one day...
I'm going to assume that the rest of the comparisons equate to one big fabrication by one of the USA's 300 million overzealous nationalists. Cunts
Last year, given the mineral/resources boom in Oz, Australia's GDP was over US$1.2 trillion. And given that in the interim, with Australia coming out of the GFC almost unaffected and in a stronger position than any other western economy, the Aussie dollar has been trading for the past few months at parity with the US dollar (or at a rate higher, for the first time), it'd be interesting to see what the exact current figure is now, calculated in US dollars. That dollar rate is not artificially high for the Aussie or artifically low for the greenbak. Both are where they should be in the current situation, which says a lot about Australia's current strengths, its controversial and speedy stimulus response and its clever prudential regulation.
Given the 20 cent fluctuation range in the Aussie-US dollar rate over the past few years, I suspect it'd now be in the region of
$US1.25 trillion, or thereabouts, at least and at least for now if the direct comparison rate holds at current levels.
That puts it well into the top 15 of the world's largest economies, but it still trails California ... which has a larger economy than most countries and has historically over the past few decades contributed about 15 per cent of the US economy's GDP.
That should come as no surprise, though, especially given its size and population and the nature of its industries. I know you'll be seeing more Californian fruits, for instance, in Aussie supermarkets at the moment - US exports are up as the US dollar goes down. That can only be good.
Australia's mining/resources, manufacturing and primary industries are probably on a par with California's or higher (if lumped all together ... obviously Australia has more valuable stuff in the ground than almost anywhere else), but the Californian economy is also largely propped up by the computer and entertainment industries, where it provides the main world hub for both (think of the turnover in Hollywood and in *generic* Silicon Valley alone, and what the earnings are just fropm those products), and the fact that it's also first port of call for shipping between Asia and the US. Plenty of that right now, too.
However, in regards to Australia - Ohio it definitely ain't. More like a bigger, wealthier version of Texas ... and without the Texans.
BTW, DailB ... thanks for the reply. I did realise you weren't responsible.
