Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, is close to surpassing Europe's largest economy Germany's GDP per capita. Euronews Business compares US states with European countries.

The poorest US state's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is higher than that of Europe's top five economies, except for Germany. However, Mississippi competes closely with Germany, with a difference of just €1,500.

Both have interesting cultures. They are different but they both have plenty.

Mississippi touches my state (gross), and all the culture leaves the moment it can to get away from all the people being racist at it.
