In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.
The size of the five original BRICS economies in 2023 - Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa - is comparable to the United States and the EU-27 put together. On a PPP (purchasing power parity) basis, China ranks as the world's largest economy. India takes up the economic parity of about **** the EU-27. The rise of these developing economies gave rise to questions on the role the United States plays in international trade and cross-border finance. FX reserve managers around the world expect to shift their holdings towards the Chinese yuan in the long term, as of 2023.
By the year 2030, it is projected that China will eclipse the United States and have the largest gross domestic product (GDP) in the world, at 31.7 trillion U.S. dollars. The United States is projected to have the second largest GDP, at 22.9 trillion U.S. dollars.
What is gross domestic product?
Gross domestic product, or GDP, is an economic measure of a country’s production in time. It includes all goods and services produced by a country and is used by economists to determine the health of a country’s economy. However, since GDP just shows the size of an economy and is not adjusted for the country’s size, this can make direct country comparisons complicated.
The growth of the global economy
Currently, the United States has the largest GDP in the world, at 20.5 trillion U.S. dollars. China has the second largest GDP, at 13.4 trillion U.S. dollars. In the coming years, production will become faster and more global, which will help to grow the global economy.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of California was about 4.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024, meaning that it contributed the most out of any state to the country’s GDP in that year. In contrast, Vermont had the lowest GDP in the United States, with 45.71 billion U.S. dollars. What is GDP? Gross domestic product, or GDP, is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced by an economy within a certain time period. GDP is used by economists to determine the economic health of an area, as well as to determine the size of the economy. GDP can be determined for countries, states and provinces, and metropolitan areas. While GDP is a good measure of the absolute size of a country's economy and economic activity, it does account for many other factors, making it a poor indicator for measuring the cost or standard of living in a country, or for making cross-country comparisons. GDP of the United States The United States has the largest gross domestic product in the world as of 2023, with China, Japan, Germany, and India rounding out the top five. The GDP of the United States has almost quadrupled since 1990, when it was about 5.9 trillion U.S. dollars, to about 25.46 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022.

I have been a fan of Paradox Interactive's Victoria 2 for a while now. This dataset is based off my most recent campaign playing as the small nation of Biafra in Western Africa. Using a software I found on the web, I was able to extract much of the data however, I really wish I were able to get more data. That game has loads of interesting data trapped in it. Hopefully, in the nearest future, a software can be built to help me get that done.
The data, I think, is fairly comprehensive. It maps out a 38 year period between 1993 and 2030, tracking each countries gdp, GDP per Capita, unemployment rate e.t.c.
Note: Keen observers will notice that 4 of the largest economies in the world seem to nose dive around the year 2023-2024. This is because, within the game, India nukes The United States, France, and Great Britain in a great war. All three countries retaliate with their own nukes, thereby reducing all 4 countries to economic obscurity within a matter of 5 years. It was indeed a scary thing to watch. Nearly 700 million people lost their lives due to the fallout.
Edit: You will find a lot of zero's in the gdp data. This is not because those countries gdp were actually 0. For the vast majority of countries with 0 as their GDP, they simply did not exist officially that year. For instance Ambazonia has many years of 0 GDP data. This is because Ambazonia did not exist as a country all those years. Also, within the game there was never any country with a population of 0. Therefore, any country with a population of 0 in our dataset did not exist.
