Can you name all countries with a nominal GDP over 1 Trillion USD (Trillion Dollar Club)?
2025, according to the World Bank via Wikipedia
The year in which the country joined the Trillion Dollar Club mentioned here is the year in which the country first joined the Trillion Dollar Club. A few of the countries below have temporary fallen out of the Trillion Dollar Club before.
The Soviet Union's GDP is estimated to have surpassed $1T some time in the 1970s and neared $3T around its collapse.
However, exact accounts are faint due to differences in standards used for economic accounting. Particularly, the USSR used its own 'Material Product System' (MPS) instead of the United Nations' standardised system. Furthermore, the discrepancy between the official and (black) market exchange rate for the Soviet Rouble and general unreliability of Soviet economic statistics also fogs analyses.
Finding it difficult to list the exact year the Soviet Union surpassed $1T (and of course, because it doesn't exist anymore), I have omitted it entirely from this quiz and leave this note in the comments instead.
