      Almost similar GDP as well

      Canada GDP (2026): $2.51 Trillion USD

      California GDP (2025): $4.25 Trillion USD

      Greater Tokyo Area (2022): $1.82 Trillion USD

      Wide Spread but still all in the low Trillions

        California is inflated by Silicon Valley stuff. Maybe left-over Hollywood prestige, as well.

        Japan isn’t known for it’s awesome economy, but it’s surprising world city Tokyo is still doing worse than all of Canada including the backwaters.

          California also offers an agricultural powerhouse of productivity, oceanfront tourism, and ongoing techbro circle jerks.

      Biggest question.

      Who wins in a street fight.

      I wanna give it to the Canadians on sheer variety but I think California might win that one.
