Australia Map Joke: States Labeled as Global Countries by GDP #2370248 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a satirical cartographic illustration where each Australian state and territory is color-coded and labeled with a country whose GDP in 2009-10 approximated that region’s economic size. For example, Western Australia is labeled “Peru,” Queensland as “Jamaica,” and New South Wales as “Argentina.” Tasmania appears as “Bolivia,” while the tiny ACT is humorously marked “Bahrain.”
