Maybe they thought non member observer state wasn't good enough?

Israel and the Czech Republic have super friendly relations, it's no surprise they voted no http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic%E2%80%93Israel_relations

True. Plus they rank 47th of all states with persons over 25 with a Bachelor's degree. Source

Amused to Death posted:Aw we're exactly tied with Colorado. My failure to finish college is dragging us down to a tie That statistic is a little misleading because there are plenty of jobs in West Virginia that don't require a bachelor's degree (coal mining mostly, but still).

Would WV and KY cancer rates have anything to do with coal mining?

Kentucky has the highest smoking rate. And, indeed, the coal mining doesn't help, either.

This is pretty awesome. Civilian aircraft parts seems to be #1 for every state I looked at, though, which is weird.

Kentucky is a lovely state between coal mining, coal power plants (also what the black blob in SW Indiana is on the mercury chart, like 15 coal power plants with more on the way, I hope you enjoy Times Square, fuckers), and tobacco.

Is this just measuring the top grossing exports? American manufacturing is pretty sorry so military contractors probably will take the cake in most places. The only thing I can think of for the Illinois statistic is Caterpillar

Yes, the charts rank the exports in "values in millions of dollars" as well as "% share". Also, I think you're spot on with the Caterpillar reference. I have a few friends that work for them. That is one huge operation there in Peoria.

When you consider how spread out the aircraft supply chain is thanks to all of the state Job Creation handjobbery in the defense procurement process (how many states make something for the F-35 again?), it's not that surprising.

What language is that map in? Is every country labeled using their native languages? That was my first guess, but the seas don't belong to any one nation, so I'm not sure what the standard is. (Using native-language labels seems like it would also be a huge pain in Switzerland.)

The Channel is in French, the North Sea is in Dutch and the Baltic is in Polish (I think?). I like how Austria still exists and owns Bavaria but all the cities have names in Italian ("Monaco di Baviera").
