Top 10 Biggest Economies in Europe

I got all ten with 1:54 left and I got 0 points. I don't get it.

Doesn't register for a certain time after a quiz is created/resubmitted.

100% 2:40 left. needs less time

Agree, got the exact same result

Same but with 1:09.Took me some time for the last 3

It would

It totally would. PPP makes some sense when looking at average wages or something like that. Makes almost no sense in this context.

Okay so what if country A produces 10,000 widgets, and country B produces 10,000 widgets, but the widgets in country B cost less to produce because country B has severely depressed wages, and much lower overhead because real estate in country B is cheaper (and lower quality) and there are fewer regulations and taxes etc, and in addition the widgets from country B are worth less because they're made of sub standard materials and therefore they sell on the international market for less, bringing in a much smaller amount of cash to country B which is one among many reasons why country B never catches up to country A in terms of HDI, but because PPP is very bad at assessing what exactly a widget is since they're not considering most of the above the two economies end up being valued at being the same size? Because that's closer to how PPP works.

But it's not the exact same croissant. That's just one of many problems.

As for correlation to life expectancy, that might have to do with goods and services including healthcare (and food) in countries being priced so that people can afford them.

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.

They're the same thing!

Churches around the world usually belong to each parish.

The Vatican GDP would nowhere near enough to qualify for this Top 10 list, which makes "Not counting the Vatican" in the instructions a bit odd.

10/10 with 1:47 remaining.

100% with 2:37 left.

Really doesn't need this much time; I mean you can tell by the average.

Doesn't Monaco have a huge economy? I thought there were a ridiculous amount of casinos there. You would think that you bring in a lot of money, especially from tourists.

You're the first person to think that Monaco is a big country in any measure.

They have by far the largest GDP per capita in the world, according to the UN data.

I don't remember Poland having a larger economy than the Netherlands

Surely do agree with you!

100% and 2:15 left! Gobsmacked!

I'm surprised that Germany is the richest in Europe by far. I thought it would be Russia.

I just typed the name of every country in Europe. You probably don't need 3 minutes for this one.

1 55 left

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%.

Damn, got them in the right order as well

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.

I 100 percent second this comment.

You're right: it should be Euros.

I swear there's more comments making fun of people complaining that quizzes are too US centric than there are comments complaining that quizzes are too US centric.

Stop being so America centric

"The average score is 10"...

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.
