How about we compare America to France right after the civil war?

In 1870 the German and France GDP were essentially equal. Each 36% less than the US. In 1913 their
combined GDP was 36% less than the US.
I still don't understand why you think landmass is a big consideration in economic output. Even today the US has a lot of unused land. What does that have to do with anything? Land doesn't have much affect on GDP. Just ask Luxembourg.
