Michigan has a population of 9.88 million. Got to wondering where we might fit into the list of the world’s genuinely sovereign countries? Well, Michigan would be sandwiched between Hungary and Somalia. Herewith a little table:
| | Population | GDP (in $ billions) | Per capita income ($) | Land Area (square miles) | Water as % of land area | Density (people per sq.m) |
| Hungary | 9,985,722 | 128.960 | 12,879 | 35,919 | 0.74 | 279 |
| Michigan | 9,883,640 | 326.123 | 25,172 | 96,716 | 41.5 | 102 |
| Somalia | 9,557,000 | 5.896 | 600 | 245,200 | | 6 |
I was born in Hungary. Looks like the move to the United States gained me income, land, and water. The dice-roll of fate…
I might do this for other states in the future as well. Candidates are Missouri, California, Texas, Minnesota, and New York...
