Australia is such a large country which sub-territories, the Australian States and Territories, can be compared to all the other UN-recognized countries in terms of size, population and GDB. Information about size and GDP have been gathered from World Bank and the results can be bluffing as you can in this post.

The base data comes from internet and you can easily find, for free, a world.shp containing all the countries. The tool used to create the maps is QGIS. To keep the relative sizes of the countries, so that they are not affected by any distortion due to projection, each country has been projected in their official coordinate system and then “moved” next to the Australian State or Territory.

Population size of South Australia a bit of a mystery? Perplexingly, you have it in km2.
Thank you for you sharp eye! It has been corrected in the map show 🙂
