Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world and Iran is a huge country with lots of people that also happens to be among the top energy exporting countries in the world.

Still is. Even with sanctions in place they are still top 10-20 in the world for exports of oil, natural gas, and electricity. They produce so much of all three that they could meet their own energy needs about 20x over for the foreseeable future, and people still believe the nuclear program is for energy.

Dudi..because I'm not a fool. Like I said they have HUGE surpluses of oil, natural gas, and electricity. They're also on the cutting edge in terms of geothermal power. Their economy is in the shitter and they have no reason at all to be investing resources into nuclear energy, especially given all the trouble this has caused for then internationally. You'd have to be an infant to think that Iran wants nuclear power to meet its energy needs.

2 things confuse me here: 1) Your choice of PPP instead of nominal. 2) The text on the front page saying "In a few more years, we might have a new #1." According to GDP PPP, China is the #1 and will remain there for decades.
Quizmaster

Mar 1, 2016
D'oh! A few years happened, and now we do have a new #1, (at least in terms of PPP). As to PPP vs nominal, I think PPP is better because currency fluctuations matter less. The Canadian dollar recently declined from about $1 USD to about 75 cents. Using nominal GDP, this would mean that Canada's GDP declined by 25%. But of course this never happened. The actual amount of goods and services that Canada produced didn't vary nearly as much.
kalbahamut
+1
level 75
Mar 1, 2016
But the value of those goods and services decreased substantially, as did Canadians' ability to acquire goods and services from outside of Canada, as did the Canadian government's ability to pay debts etc. This all has very real effects of the country's economic "size" in an international sense.

And, while, yes, nominal GDP is effected by currency fluctuations, PPP is hardly immune from that, as currency values have a great impact on the cost of goods and services in a country for a variety of different reasons. So, nominal GDP is affected by the vagaries of currency fluctuation, and PPP is affected by that, plus a whole set of other vagaries placed on top of that, such as tax and tariff fluctuations, wage fluctuations, oil price fluctuations, and fluctuations in the price of a cheeseburger.

An interesting solution would be to have both measures in one quiz. I'm sure there's a quiz that does this by nominal GDP already.

Probably. I did one several years ago that used nominal GDP per capita, but not overall GDP.

Egypt's economy is bigger than South Africa or Nigeria? After those didn't take, I tried DRC and figured I'd hit all the large African economies.
kalbahamut

Feb 26, 2019
Egypt's economy in real dollars is somewhere between 44th and 51st in the world. Using PPP gives them a huge boost because while the economy is growing the currency has been greatly devalued and though inflation is very high the price of goods still aren't going up as fast as the pound is going down.
