A cartogram: the familiar world map, deformed so that each country is drawn at a size proportional to its real GDP at purchasing power parity rather than its land area. Modern borders.

Measured this way, China is the largest economy ($31.3tn in constant 2011 international dollars), ahead of the United States ($21.1tn) and India ($12.9tn). World output totals $143.9tn. Alongside the map sit the ten largest economies and world output since 1821.
