these are the exact kind of maps that need a single color1->color2 gradient in the legend.
very few people are interested in looking up a particular x0%-x9% group, but most people are interested in easy comparison of countries and general trends.

In Spain, the Community of Madrid represents 19% of Spain’s GDP with a population that is 14% of the nation’s total.
In France, the influence of Paris is absolutely disproportionate, by comparison. ÃŽle-de-France represents 31% of the country’s GDP, while having 17% of the nation’s population.

Wasn’t it that Berlin represented a net loss of revenue for Germany?

Shouldn’t Switzerland be blank considering they constitutionally don’t have a capital?

I believe that a country, in which the majority of GDP is not created in the capital, is more resilient to different economic fluctuations. Meaning a GDP that is “evenly” created in all regions makes more sense.
Smaller countries do differ (Iceland, Baltics, Luxemburg).

Austria is truly impressive. Vienna is quite a big city that’s also decently economically productive; it would be easy to be economically overpowered by such a capital for a country of Austria’s size.
Really speaks to the strength of regional economies in Austria.

At least Berlin has enough crimes

Germany and Italy should be interpreted a bit differently since their capitals are not economic centers.

Germany would be better off economically, when we’d exclude Berlin*
Only on the first sight. Berlin isn’t economically powerful but it bears a lot of coats due to the fact that it’s the capital. The police has to protect the parliament and other governmental buildings, and the embassies. demonstrations are most likely to take place in Berlin. Etc etc…
Those representation costs would be transferred to another city but you can’t get rid of them

Berlin, Rome and Bern.

Of all the perplexing maps to split up the UK, this seems the strangest.Â

Luxembourg really needs to diversify.

Madrid contributing <20% of national GDP?
Not sure if I buy this statistics.

Super ironic about Rome.
Edit: at one point Rome by itself probably accounted for half the gdp of all of Europe. It had a million people when most cities had 30-70k.

A lot of this is the way that GDP is regionalized. I find hard to agree that a company that does not extract oil from Oslo should be considered GDP of Oslo mostly
