Did you ever get the original theme to Gilligan's Island stuck in your head? Do you know the one I mean? The one with the lyrics from the television show's early years when The Professor and Maryann were collectively referred to in the show's musical roll call as "and the rest?" Well, in creating today's dynamic table for ranking the nations and territories for which the 2003 World Factbook provides GDP and population data, Political Calculations(TM) has rounded up all the data that hasn't already been covered in the series. In doing so, I couldn't help notice that much of this data covers the world's island nations, territories and regions. As a result, the "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" is now firmly stuck in Political Calculations' mental subconscious - and when that happens, the only way it gets unstuck is to make others think of the song. Cheers!
Now, about today's dynamic GDP table. Once again, 2002 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data is presented that has been adjusted for each reported region's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and their estimated population as of July 2003. This provides each region's related GDP per Capita (which is also adjusted for PPP.) You may rank the nations in the table below according to the different categories by selecting the individual column heads:
| 2002 Miscellaneous GDP and Population Data |
|---|
