Holy rural urban divide Batman
Right.
I was looking at this and thinking "I bet this is just a map of cities.’
Sort of but also not at the same time, for example there is a distinct difference between Central/Western and Eastern Europe. In Central/Western Europe each country has several regions with above average GDP whereas in Eastern Europe pretty much only the capitals, if that, are above average. Which just goes to show that the scars of the iron curtain have not healed yet and more needs to be done to even out the field. This becomes rather apparent if you look at Germany and realize that the border of below and above average pretty much exactly follows the former east-west-border
it is also a map of countries/regions that either went through WW2 relatively unscathed and or profited strongly from the marshall plan.
Lol Lapland(sweden) as an urban region /s
I was wondering what the deal was with northern Sweden. Is there any substantial economic activity there? Maybe mining?
It’s a lot of mines, server halls, water power, wind farms, factories, refineries and a shitton of logging.
Not that any of the population sees a dime of that “GDP per capita”.
I would be very interested to a similar map with workers wages, it would be very illuminating
Idk i know people who work in retail there and earn a lot of money. Even more if youre a doctor for example. The gdp still doesnt reflect the income but theres a pretty big boost so the people wont just move to a warmer place. Also the sami people are usually the ones that get the worse jobs but thats a problem for another day.
So the Holy Roman Empire seems to be doing well for itself
Its funny how all of austria is doing good except burgenland.
