You all know I like maps and this one is no different. Carl Størmer happened upon a European-country-to-US-State comparison based on GDP:

When seeing Norway's GDP in the context of this map, one realizes why Norway often is one of the last countries U.S. companies consider when expanding to Europe.
That's because it is equivalent to our Minnesota.

Regardless, the numbers are questionable. Someone took the time to re-order the list according to 2005 GSP data from the BEA and 2005 GDP data from the IMF (in $US billions). Because this doesn't consider purchasing power parity or black market economies, etc, it's still a bit of a stab in the dark:
