Which doesn't surprise me.

In very general term, you either use GPD to compare countries' "economic strenght", or GDP per capita (PPP) to compare how it translate for their potential for each citizen.

I feel like GDP per capita (non PPP) or GDP (PPP) are not very useful unless you want to make the numbers say whatever your story claims.
