Look at the official GDP/capita numbers.

France: 43,658.98

Germany: 51,203.55

Mississippi: 48,744*

I was off on Mississippi but they are still very close to Germany's, which is good considering they are the poorest state in the USA.

Apparently my source for MS was older (and I mistyped it anyways when calculating, but wouldn't have changed it much compared to using the 2022/2023 numbers). Updating to the 2022 numbers brings it to $47k and 2023 brings it to $48.7k.

So you were half-right, congrats.
