Yes, I think the Gates Foundation is a big factor in this.

This one has me confused, maybe you can figure it out. The PPP and the blocks before Ethiopia and after the US to make 100% population.

PPP is just them saying "when everyone's money is translated onto a standard playing field"--kind of like how the salaries are higher in NYC, but a sandwich also costs 3 times as much so you're not really making as much as you think you are. They've calculated how much actual buying power each country has.
As for the rich sliver to the right of the U.S., I'd guess a small hideout of billionaires that is only technically a sovereign nation--maybe an island owned by Richard Branson, or Vatican City, something like that. To the left of Ethiopia could be any number of tiny, dirt-poor countries that they figured folks wouldn't recognize as readily. |

Seems to me there is a lot of data massaging and fudge factoring involved with the PPP.
Of course neither GDP nor PPP tell how well the average Joe/Jolene are doing. If their country is a tax haven or big supplier of IT, it might look good on paper but half the population is actually starving.

Kids will run ragged, the secret is to slow them down with ballast... like lead.

But PA loses big time to Brazil when it comes to homicides.

the colors in the legend are way too light, compared to the colors on the map.

House parties are a thing hereabouts, live punk shows. I suspect they are not mapped.

Springfield is only 90 miles away and in the same state so they get a D.
