How these totals are computed

Every figure is a SQL aggregate against PlainCountries' local rebuild of World Bank country metadata, indicator datapoints (World Bank + ILO), and OECD member overlays. Region and income-group mixes come from the countries table; indicator topic density from indicators; GDP leaders from gdp_current / gdp_per_capita. No headline total is hand-typed.

GDP total and GDP per capita reorder hard (large economies vs high per-capita jurisdictions). Both ladders are shown so a reader can see the difference. Full source handling lives on the methodology page.

Source: World Bank Open Data · ILO ILOSTAT · OECD GDP figures are current USD levels from the rebuild; they are not purchasing-power welfare scores.

Reading these numbers

Catalog size and GDP levels answer different questions than rankings on a single indicator.

  • Total GDP and GDP per capita reorder. Check both before treating a large economy as high-income per person. Open rankings
  • Region buckets are World Bank geographic groupings on the countries table, not population weights. Browse countries
  • Compare two economies when you need indicator-by-indicator differences, not a national average. Open compare
