Just some suggestions

 * Where are Canada's Arctic Islands?
 * And why is there such a wide gap of $10,000 to $40,000? Canada at almost $40,000 is the same color countries that are just over $10,000?
 * Once hitting $10,000, the classes should be: $10,000 to $20,000, $20,000 to $30,000, $30,000 to $40,000, and $40,000 and up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CalgaryWikifan (talk • contribs)
 * The map I started out with didn’t had Canada's Arctic Islands (or Svalbard, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, Severnaya Zemlya...), it was linked from here), it got deleted though.
 * The value boundaries where chosen (in 2004) to have an approximately equal number of countries in each color range. Currently 19% of the countries fall within the 10.000 – 40.000 range. That’s indeed starting to get to big for an 8 bin color division.
 * I don’t think a partial combination of quasi logarithmic and linear separation would work well. Your suggestion would create 9 groups for only 25% of the countries, while the other 75% are grouped in 6 bins. A full linear arrangement wouldn't work well either for the lower GDP countries, 30% of the countries alone are already under $1000. But I think we indeed need more groups for the 10.000 – 90.000 range than just 2. --Van helsing 08:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the map should be redrawn as a choropleth map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Talbott (talk • contribs)

My map has Canada's Artic Islands (it's been added to the article) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsrboy (talk • contribs) 21:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Iraq
Why is CIA written on Iraq? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.15.108.6 (talk • contribs)
 * The IMF doesn’t provide the GDP for Iraq, but the CIA world factbook does. Iraq is colored according to the GDP provided by the CIA world factbook. --Van helsing 08:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

South Africa
South Africa's GDP per Capita is $13,300 according to the CIA world Fact book Therefore this figure is incorrect.
 * Er… you prefer the "GDP - per capita (PPP) value" on a nominal map? --Van helsing 20:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Finland
Shouldn't Finland be painted in the dark blue instead of the light blue, as according to the text contest here it has the nominal GDP per capita over 40 000$.

Out of date
I don't know if it's only been out of date for a few days or maybe a year, but the map doesn't match up with the article (i'm talking about the United Kingdom). Bsrboy (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 02:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC) This hasn't happened, so I am going to make my own map relating the current data and upload it here. Bsrboy (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Don't remove my map. Your map is for 2006! The data on here is for 2007! My map uses the data on the article. I'm putting it back. Bsrboy 19:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsrboy (talk • contribs)

Why is the southern part of Morocco white? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.112.236.152 (talk) 19:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

That's Western Sahara and it's white, because there is not data for it. Bsrboy 19:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsrboy (talk • contribs)
