Countries' GDPs

One of the most important factors in determining the affluence in a country is undoubtedly its GDP. It is the measure of total output by a country and can be used to measure the income of a country. However, this figure alone is in itself pretty misleading as a country may have a GDP double than another country but this may be just because the latter's population is double. What is more important is the GDP per capita of countries. No example other than Falkland Island can illustrate the difference between the two terms. GDP wise, Falkland Island is at a position of 192 in the world but when it comes to GDP per capita, Falkland Island joins the elite (it is 23rd). Anyways, here I post the links to both pages of GDP and GDP per capitas of all countries.
