The use of "poor" to describe the level of GDP is wrong. It should be changed instead to "smaller", as it refers to the size of the economy, not to a country's wealth. Egypt and Poland for example have higher GDP than Greece and Portugal but on average most Egyptians and Poles are poorer than most Greeks and Portuguese.

I think it's measuring GDP per capita, otherwise small countries like Andorra or Malta would definitely rank even lower

Also I just noticed in the same ranking Luxembourg, Iceland and Finland have smaller PPP than Greece, not to mention as well the micro states.
