There was a clause about having to report any "ongoing intimate

to have nuclear capability, and a longer list of countries known
to be "inimical" to the US).
As an exercise, I thought I'd categorize them. I found two lists
(not obvious where to get the authoritative DOE list)

Augment the Purchasing power parity GDP info / per capital, I
collect the following.
Some highlights..
1) GDP of India exceeds Russia
2) South Korea GDP is within a factor of 2 of Russia
3) UAE per captial is a dead-heat with the United States
4) Living large in Macau, right up there with Luxembourg
5) Dangerous places like Yemen, North Korea, and Afghanistan are
poor absolutely and individually.
6) India and China have the most inequity, but the U.S. would be in
third in this list. Macau, curiously, has the least -- ratio very
close to Luxembourg again. Cuba's ratio of GDP to per capita is low
too.
