Based on all the churches they own, expected Vatican City to be on list.

I believe, the churches technically belong to the Holy See, not to Vatican City.

Not quite. The Holy See is basically the central government of the Catholic Church while the Vatican City is a sovereign country. They have the same leader (the Pope) but they're distinct. For example, the Holy See continued to exist even when the Papal States were dissolved in 1870, and until the creation of the Vatican City State in 1929.

Austria is a wealthy country and has a robust economy (per capita). But it's population is only about 9 million. So its economy is not going to be nearly as large as much more highly populated countries like Germany, Italy and the UK.

However, the asian part is richer: Based on 2008 data about 33% of the Russian economy has been generated in the asian part. With "West Siberian economic region" generating already 21%.

Well, these are total GDP, so the population disparity alone makes a huge difference. No single country in Europe has anywhere near the population of China and India, so it makes sense they don't compare that way. Per capita though, a very different story.

Not really. US dollars seem to be the international standard for measuring GDPs, even in countries that don't use this currency. And Euros aren't even used in all European countries.

With Russia post the collapse of the ruble being among the cheapest countries in Europe now, and the UK being among the most expensive, this might be an effect of using PPP, but I don't know.

It is, indeed. If we use nominal GDP, Russia is only 5th in Europe, with a smaller economy than Italy.

Russia has a smaller nominal GDP than the UK, but when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) – a way of measuring what an amount of money will buy in different countries – Russia is larger.

My guess is that you are not looking at PPP numbers. Switzerland's nominal GDP is inflated by its strong currency. For example, that $8 Guiness in Switzerland isn't really worth more than a $4 Guiness in France. PPP takes this into account.

Which the Swiss can then use to purchase goods and services abroad, or convert to other currencies at those strong rates to do the same. PPP tries to correct for costs, but it does so in ways that massively underestimate real disparities in wealth between countries. So much so, that the increasingly widespread adoption of the measurement by World Bank-types seems like an intentional effort to pretend the world is much more equal than it is. If citizens of Pakistan and Switzerland want to buy a Hyundai, travel to Turkey, or go to university in Australia, PPP is hardly going to matter at all.
