I think this needs to become its own country

I remember this post that compared the quality of life in the DPRK and the US. There are many ways in which traditional stats like the GDP per capita exhibit bias in favor of some countries; countries may differ in their...

• ...distribution of wealth.
• ...basic expenses.
• ...cost of products and services.

So, I decided to give it a shot. I started from median wealth per adult values published by UBS (data from 2022); my logic was that two people who end up, no matter their income, with the same amount of expendable income will acquire a similar amount of value in the form of equities, real estate, vehicles... By using the median value, I make sure that wealth in countries with high inequality isn't overestimated.

Then, I multiplied these values by the ratio between adjusted (international dollars at 2017 prices PPP) and unadjusted GDP per capita of each country, using data from 2022 by the IMF.

There are some interesting things to note within the map. Enjoy!

Maybe the name of the countries should change, I dunno. I tried to make the countries based on ethnicity and on pan-nationalism, considering in that timeline Europe lost like 90% of its population and lots of regions in Europe are literally forests and abandoned cities. I was thinking the same would be for Asia and Africa too. But I think maybe someone can develop this idea even better than I could ever do.

I was also thinking about the Islamic World being a single huge country (maybe most Turkey should be on the Islamic World). And India, China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Southern Asia would exist as unified nations but with lots of forests and wastelands just like Europe and on the Middle East.

And for the Americas, I was thinking about the Incas, Mayas and Aztecs existing as huge nations with lots of forests, as well as most nations of the Americas (Guaranis, Mapuches, Tupis, Caribs, Cherokee, Sioux, Pueblos, Navajos, Iroquis etc) would have their own countries, but with far more lands, and all European colonial nations (like Brazil, the Thirteen Colonies, New Spain, New Granada, Florida, Louisiana, Quebec, British Canada etc) would exist as coastal outposts only.

Open to suggestions about what to do with States and Provinces.
