The chart above shows the per capita annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU and US state as of the fourth quarter of 2018 in dollars, the change from the previous quarter, and the GDP one year prior.  Luxembourg is in a class all by itself.

The chart above shows the per capita annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU state as of the fourth quarter of 2018 in euros, the change from the previous quarter, and the GDP one year prior.  Luxembourg has at least double the per capita GDP of every other EU state save for Ireland.

The chart above shows the per capita annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each US state as of the fourth quarter of 2018 in dollars, the change from the previous quarter, and the GDP one year prior.  Every single state's per capita GDP grew both over the past quarter and the past year.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in EU and US regions.  Every single US region emits more transportation-based carbon dioxide per capita than any EU region.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in US regions.  The South emits the most out of all the regions but the differences between the regions are not all that high.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in EU regions.  The Northern EU emits more carbon dioxide per person than all the other three regions combined.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in EU and US states.  With the exceptions of Luxembourg, Denmark, and Malta, every other EU state emits less carbon dioxide than every single US state.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in EU states.  Three states (Luxembourg, Denmark, and Malta) really stand out having at least 2.5 times the emissions that fourth place Ireland has.

The chart above shows transportation-based carbon dioxide emissions broken down by population in US states.  It is no surprise that Alaska where travel by bush plane is so common takes the top spot.
