    I largely agree but it matters for military power – that the Netherlands had a higher GDP/capita than Germany didn’t help it in 1940.

    I think you also mislead on “sunshine, capirinhas and football be damned”. Sunshine isn’t well captured in GDP, indeed a nicer climate might mean a lower GDP in some ways.

    Forget that – the main story in that article is a Brit calling football ‘soccer’!

    *Cue howls of outrage*
