And what’s their population relative to the rest of Africa?
I mean, it’s not that interesting.
42% of U.S. GDP comes from the top 5 states and 62% of EU GDP comes from their top 5, it was even higher before the UK left.
Nigeria will rebase their GDP again and find themselves at $2-trillion
For the breakdown of the five:
– Ethiopia: 185 billion
– Nigeria: 285 billion
– Algeria: Also 285 billion
– Egypt: 349 billion
– South Africa: 428 billion
(these are more recent numbers which is why it exceeds 1.4 trillion)
Thought Botswana would be there on top
Erytrea is not a country anymore? 🤔
Now compare population
huh, ethiopia, aren’t they in a civil war?
Wait, all of Africa’s GDP is a half of Germany’s?
Surprised it is not Nigeria given it’s large population
You can also do this for US with their richest states (California, New York region, Texas).
Same for Europe with Germany, UK, France, Italy and Spain.
Same for Latin America with only 3 countries with Brazil, Mexico, and Argentine.

By population:
Algeria – 47.4 million people
Ethiopia – 135.5 million people
Egypt – 107.8 million people
Nigeria – 236.7 million people
South Africa – 63 million people
Together they’re around 600 million or ~40% of Africa’s total population. So not that weird for them to make up half the GDP.
Really puts into perspective how much uninhabited space there is in Africa and also how much Colonialism and subsequent corruption after decolonization fucked the entire continent
Egypt is really a failed economy by this point heavily dependent on foreign aid. They have 10x the population of neighboring Israel but only around 2/3rds the GDP by comparison.
