If Britain were a US state it would be second poorest ahead of only Mississippi.

This kind of surprised me, based on per capita GDP. LINK
UK article link above is based on
Ranking(Countries in bold):
Alaska
Wyoming
North Dakota
Connecticut
Delaware
New York
Massachusetts
Norway
New Jersey
Nebraska
Washington
Texas
Maryland
Minnesota
California
Illinois
Colorado
Oregon
South Dakota
Louisiana
Virginia
Switzerland
Iowa
Hawaii
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Pennsylvania
Kansas
Wisconsin
Ohio
Utah
Indiana
North Carolina
Nevada
Oklahoma
Vermont
Missouri
Georgia
Tennessee
New Mexico
Michigan
Sweden
Montana
Germany
Arizona
Kentucky
Maine
West Virginia
Idaho
South Carolina
Arkansas
Florida
Euro Area
Alabama
United Kingdom
Mississippi
I don't know why the article says Britain and then lists the UK...but I w/e. I thought it was interesting but GDP per capita is a pretty poor measurement too

I cannot imagine how this could possibly be deceptive.

If the offer is to trade a state for the UK, Alabama would be the correct choice. Throw in Fulton County Georgia if necessary and get the deal done.

there's just no way this is true. If the UK were a state it would have the benefits that Mississippi has and would jump way up the list.
I mean London by itself, even if the rest of the country is a drain (which it isn't) blows Mississippi out of the water.

I heard Obama is going to adopt the European Union's mandatory "Adopt a Muslim" program for every American citizen that makes more than 20k a year so we should see those numbers go down soon.

How the frick they pay the soccer players?

Funny that when you ask about crime rates everyone wants to point at poverty but this kinda blows that shite out of the water now doesn't it. A lot of the names at the bottom of the list have low crime along with poverty.

I read that between 15 and 20% of the UK population lives in their version of housing projects called council buildings. They are supposed to be nicer and safer than American projects.

GDP per capita
This is what it's based on, and why AK, ND, and WY are so high (energy sector).
And why the tiny state of Delaware, which has some very large banks, is above TX.
It should also be noted that Britain would be by far the largest U.S. state.

No they wouldn't be. If they were a US state, their gun laws would change and they would just take whatever they wanted.

The European countries never really recovered from WW2. Not to the industrial and military powers many of them once were.
