• Ok i LOOKED up the nations of the world by size my list will devide them by fourths Wide, average, tall I mean small, and minor. This proves if tall nations can compete with wide nations. You got to understand a lot of countries are out there, and different people have different ideas what a country is. there are 257 countries on the first list. When you first look on the wide list it doesn't make sense China is bigger than the United states. If you added everything the US owns including all it's territories. It's only 50,000 acres bigger. This means that the mainland China is bigger than the mainland US including Alaska, and Hawaii. Some of these countries are territories of another country this list means that different people have a different ideas what a country is. You will see less countries when we compare GDP's. I have an option to give the wide the European Union. The reason I wont is because I would have to then find a list of all its members to take them off this list. But there would be a GDP of $18,769,286 making them the worlds second largest economy, but then you would have to remove the European countries off this list.

First is wide. 64 

1. Russia, 2. Antartica 3. China 4. United States 5. Canada 6. Brazil 7. Australia 8. India 9. Argentina 10. Kazakhstan 11. Algeria 12. Sudan  13. Democratic Republic of the Congo. 14. Greenland 15.

This list can be used to compare a real world of tall vs. wide scenarios.  

This list measures the GDP by millions of dollars. The list of countries by GDP is smaller than the list of countries by size; which, means that the reason is that the countries that aren't on the list has a GDP of less than one million, or that not everyone has the same idea of what a country is.

OK the number one tall Netherlands is between Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia; which, is between 13th and 14th on the wide list. I'm only going to use 53 wide countries for the average GDP for tall, and wide since there are only 53 relevant tall countries to use.  The average wide's GDP is $1,251,608 for 53 wide countries. Now there is only 53 significant tall countries, so were using all of them The average GDP for tall is $100,375. Wide averages over 12 times more than tall in the real world. Lets not forget to find the GDP multiply all these numbers by a million.
