The US is the richest nation in the world, with an annual GDP of $17.3 trillion in

2014. However, some states are greater contributors to the economy than others. To

illustrate differences among state economies, the folks at HowMuch.net created achart that shows the relative economic value of each US state.

The states are also color-coded based on which region of the country they’re in.
