That's right. The GDP of the whole world is about $54 trillion/year. The US GDP is about $13 trillion/year.

The next closest country is Japan with about $4 tillion followed by Germany at $3.5 tillion.

It's basically us and then everybody else. No one else is even close.

Another thing. The entire GDP of the Arab League natinons, plus Iran (not an Arab league nation) is $1.7 trillion. The GDP of Italy is also $1.7 trillion.

Nice productivity for 1 billion people.
