The map is an infographic that displays bubbles/gears proportional to a country's GDP (manufacturing only) worldwide.<p>The blog author then extends the analysis by including three tables about GDP and per capita data, along with footnotes/sources.<p>These tables are interesting and reveal insights about Germany, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and the Top 10 Countries by GDP Manufacturing (China, U.S., India, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, etc.).<p>The U.S. is #2 regarding GDP Manufacturing, but #1 for GDP Total. The U.S. also has one of the largest GDPs per capita (not in the top five, though -- according to the tables).<p>Maybe I or someone else might want to write a Python script (pandas, etc.) to analyze the data set further. There is a link to the data by the United Nations and one other source.
