New map of the western world dropped
Bulgaria? And not, say, Poland? Otherwise all is as one would expect.
Surprised that Bulgaria is there but not Poland.
No China but Greece is here? Really? I will say this looks highly biased
Bulgaria over China seems strange at best.
Why my country Slovakia is there when we are an oligarchy with no development ( 99% of public funds are stolen by oligarchs )
But not Poland which a 100 times better off
There are Portugal and Bulgaria and not Poland ?
Le World Tours :-
American/British singers getting ready for the “World Tour”:
China is way more advanced than some.
Portugal betrayed its Eastern brothers 🙁
Aside from Bulgaria, I’m surprised about Australia. I know they’re generally considered a developed country, but I thought their economy was highly dependent on natural resource exports.
What is their definition of advanced economy? One that outsourced most of production?
China?
Surprised that none of the middle eastern states are classified as Advanced. Has anyone been to the Middle East? Dubai? Jordan? Qatar? If those places are not advanced, I don’t know what is. Also, Singapore doesn’t look like it made it either and that’s whack.
Not China!!! I had been there recently through a friend. It’s insane how ahead and advanced it is now.
Doesn’t make sense when places like Jersey aren’t counted as advanced economies…
Monaco should be there surely
bulgaria is there but poland and turkey not.
I guess IMF is using copilot AI
I’m sorry, Portugal ? Is this a joke ?
French Guiana looking at the rest of South America like: 😶🌫️
Oh…because it’s actually France. Learn something new every day.
I’m Greek and surprised because, I’m telling you, our economy is not advanced at all. It’s “come, take a swim, we’ll clean your air bnb and please come again”. This is the most advanced it gets, sadly.
USA propaganda.
Мусорные страны?
Have they seen China lately?
If New Zealand is an advanced economy, I am Pope Leo!
Monaco???
Also thanks French Guiana for carrying France for Europe
Tbh I think advanced means most ppl work in services (banking, it, etc.) instead of farming or industry. But I’m just a random guy putting unverified thoughts on internet.
Interesting.
No LATAM or Middle East countries even though Chile/Uruguay and especially the UAE/Qatar are economically developed.
Will definitely be worth reading the methodology
You can be in France and South America at the same time? Or would it be more accurate to say you’re in part of the French Empire?
If someone asks you what country you’re in and you’re in Hawaii you would say “the USA” would you say “France” if you were in French Guinana?
Seems neocolonial
IMF still classes Poland as Emerging and Developing and on par with Bosnia, Albania and Ukraine when literally every other major economic organization classes it as Developed for almost a decade now 🤣

Idk what all they measure for this.. just some standouts I don’t see on here
Poland, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Chile, Argentina
URAAAA CROATIAAAA, WHAT THE FUCK IS AN INDUSTRYYY🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Greece, advanced economy?
What countries are the circles in the north of France and the south of England?
as far as I understood, “ADVANCED” economy is one that produces almost nothing and lives of renting stuff…
How are Bulgaria and Croatia advanced economies but Poland or Romania aren’t?
Russia has nuclear power, a space program, an aviation industry and developed its own COVID vaccines (even if they weren’t as good) and they aren’t considered advanced? and NZ is? Putin and his cronies may be fascist jerks, but Russia is most certainly technologically advanced…
