The latest GDP numbers from the World Bank were released earlier this month, and today’s visualization from [HowMuch.net](https://howmuch.net/articles/the-global-economy-by-GDP) breaks them down to show the relative share of the global economy for each country.

The full circle, known as a Voronoi Diagram, represents the entirety of the $74 trillion global economy in nominal terms. Meanwhile, each country’s segment is sized accordingly to their percentage of global GDP output. Continents are also grouped together and sorted by colour.
