Europe does have 150-200 million more people right?

just barely over a 100M more

Wikipedia says 745 million… that can’t be right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe

So even worse

Does that include Russia, the Asian country with a European Capital?

Population-weighted, the country is more European (80% of pop on Europe side). That 80% counts towards population of Europe.

EU != Europe...

According to wikipedia, EU has a 23 trillion GDP (30 trillion PPP) and 451 million people, making ~51k GDP per person (67k PPP). US is at 32 trillion GDP and same PPP for 342 million people - 94k per person
