Let's talk about GDP v. GDP per capita. Head to the CIA World Factbook please. Grab a name tent. Look up what your country's GDP purchasing power parity and GDP per capita are. Use the 2014 data, please. Be sure to note not only the figure but the world rank (labeled as country comparison to the world on the site) as well. Record your country's name and all of the data you were asked to collect on the name tent.
