2021 IMF Nominal GDP of Pakistan, source?

The "IMF, World Economic Outlook Database, October 2021" does not give a Nominal GDP figure for Pakistan in 2021, at least in terms of the relatively stable American dollar. The Nominal GDP figure is however given in American dollars for 2020, and it is much lower than 347 billion, at 261 billon and 726 million dollars. Where is the source for the 347 billion dollar figure currently quoted for Pakistan in that IMF dataset, and if there really is a source why isn't it highlighted in the table somewhere relevant so that it can be then checked up on for its reliability?

The GDP for India on the list does not match the graph. The EU is one space too low, it should be in between China and the U.S. Stellarisstaria ( talk) 22:17, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Inclusion of the European Union in the list

There seems to be a disagreement regarding the inclusion of the EU into the list of countries. Recently it has been repeatedly added and removed. The note regarding its inclusion may not be presenting a convincing argument why the EU is included while e.g. ASEAN, Mercosur, AU etc are not (these actually do have flag, anthem and/or parliamentary-like assembly). Consider changing original note 4 text:

The EU is included because it is much more than a free-trade association such as ASEAN, African Union or Mercosur. It has certain attributes associated with independent nations: its own flag, anthem, currency (for some members), parliament and other law-making abilities, as well as diplomatic representation and a common foreign and security policy when dealing with external partners. However, because the EU is an organization and not a sovereign state or autonomous territory, it does not receive a ranking in this list.

to a new wording that aims to better explain specific nature of the EU:

The EU is economic and political union of 27 countries having single market with free movement of goods, capital, services and people. The EU has some characteristics of a federation - specific policy areas are governed by permanent supranational EU bodies with legislative, executive and judicial powers where member states have limited ability to legislate on their own or to veto EU decisions. As such the EU has been described as being less than a state but more than an international organization. GDP of the EU is listed in the table under those sources that explicitly provide it, but it does not receive a ranking.

I disagree with the inclusion of the EU in this list and not even comparing this with other trade associations. As their own definition states, it is an economic and political union. And while it may have some things that can be similar to a country (and the same can be said of the UN, Red Cross, etc.) they are not a country. There is no EU seat at the UN, which would be one of the defining factors. So please remove because not only it looks weird because it reflects some kind of eurocentrism in Wikipedia, but also now that the other trade unions are mentioned in the comment, this has the potential to have people including all kinds of things in this list.

More to the point, the EU is included because the IMF and WB datasets includes it. (For all the reasons you cite among others.) They are not only RS; they are literally the basis for these economic list articles. We have generally made unrecognized polities not sortable under the same keys as the rest of the table, however, at least in other IMF dataset list articles. SamuelRiv ( talk) 02:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't believe the EU should be added as it is not a country, would double count European countries and implies that the EU is equivalent to states like the US or China.
There was a RfC, I guess not very recently anymore but relatively so by Wikipedia standards where no consensus for its inclusion was met. Maybe another RfC would be fruitful to see if a consensus for its inclusion is there.

In this case perhaps we should add Hong-Kong,Macau and China which they are literally one country, or add USMCA and all other economic unons like EEU etc EU does not have a common currency(several countries still have their own national currency like Sweden, Poland etc), they do not constitute a single political entity-nation and do not share common fiscal policies — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.198.236.112 ( talk) 17:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

This has been discussed along these arguments many times before (please dig through the talk page archives) and such discussion has always led to keeping it in, which is clearly the current consensus. So before removing it please make sure there is a convincing consensus to remove it here (please note I am in favour for keeping it in). Arnoutf ( talk) 17:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Pretty sure we've reached consensus a few times in the past that the EU should be in the list. It seems every year we're doing this dance and the result is always to add the EU. Nonetheless ,I support keeping it in the list. Romdwolf ( talk) 20:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The consensus was always not to add in EU. This is a page about COUNTRIES. EU is not a country. It doesn't belong here. 124.246.65.237 ( talk) 11:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC) reply

What's up with Cuba?

What's up with Cuba. The Economy of Cuba article claims that they are the 19th country by nominal which is extremely extremely surprising because nominal is just raw stats without being shifted by PPP or per capital. And this article seems to have discrepancies because one source is claiming around 175000 million which other other one says 650,000 million. Alexysun ( talk) 19:10, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Regarding editing of inappropriate articles

Focus on article content during discussions, not on editor conduct; comment on content, not the contributor. This discussion needs to be re-started without attacking each other. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 03:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

User 北京555 took the liberty of changing the article without sufficient discussion of the previous classification of countries for ranking. I argue that it should be reverted to the version of the article dated 07:45, 12 March 2024‎‎. Minchuchui ( talk) 13:42, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I didn't change anything, I just marked countries and territories, you are a disruptive editor. 北京555 ( talk) 16:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
You arbitrarily omitted Taiwan, Kosovo, and Palestine from the rankings, even though IMF data "exists" and the data is "written" in the table.
The article clearly states, "states with limited international recognition (such as Kosovo and Taiwan) are included in the list where they appear in the sources." Minchuchui ( talk) 21:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
If you keep editing without reaching a consensus, I'll report you, secondly, I mentioned everything.. 北京555 ( talk) 22:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Even though the article clearly states that Taiwan and Kosovo will be ranked based on IMF data, you ignores this and makes inconsistent edits. Minchuchui ( talk) 22:06, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Problem with the current version

Hello, in the current table there is a big problem that I corrected in the edit I made a few weeks ago.it’s includes in an incorrect ranking countries and territories that have no information to back them up or that are not members of the IMF and are simply in the wrong ranking and order. Until some time ago the table was in this order but someone changed it. The table used to be like that.

It is important to note that there is no information about Cuba, but it is ranked 63rd, a ranking that is not even close to being true and despite the fact the the IMF doesn’t have any economic data about Cuba. Due to these reasons, on other large sites, for example, Worldomotor arranged the table according to the order I suggested. Countries like Lebanon or Syria for example are in the ranking even though according to the IMF there has been no economic information about them for years. I see no reason to object. I would love for you to give your opinion about my version that was more organized. 北京555 ( talk) 12:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I think you make a good point , in my opinion the older version you made is better than the current one. Qplb191 ( talk) 00:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Alright @ Cremastra do you agree? 北京555 ( talk) 02:46, 30 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Fernan860 could you please give an third opinion? 北京555 ( talk) 07:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC) reply
I think the list should meet the same sorting criteria than the article "List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita": Sort according to the first column. If there is no data, according to the second column. And if there is no data either, according to the third column. Remove the rankings of non-IMF members as decided in the article "List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita". And later, check the data of Cuba (and other data maybe) and correct if necessary. Regards. Fernan860 ( talk) 22:43, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Thank you, This is exactly the edit I proposed and made, it is also important for me to explain that there are countries that are members of the IMF, such as Lebanon or Cuba for example, but do not have economic data for years and ranked in the wrong place, so I marked them as well. 北京555 ( talk) 04:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Taiwan rank

taiwan is currently grouped together with poland at rank 21. it looks rather odd, since in no way of counting would taiwan actually be ranked 21st. i think it should either

  • not be included within rank 21, and just have an empty, separate ranking field, or
  • be within row 22, above belgium, with "22" on the same height as belgium.

similar edits would then need to be done to the other unranked entries. EnTerbury ( talk) 22:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
