(Skipping excluding China since its easy.)
Greece, a country that had a total economic collapse to the point it was a joke for several years, and was degraded to an "emerging market", is advanced.
India, Russia, Brasil, Mexico, Turkey, all of which have developed industries with "healthy" agricultural, service, and "white collar" industries and aren't literal financial jokes, not advanced.
Also, lol at all the baltics being "advanced". Any economy they have is thanks to the USSR, and they and the west will never forgive them for it. I think the only thing I've ever seen "Made in" any of them was some winter hat from Estonia. I know I've seen some Polish stuff before. Nigeria once or twice. South Africa too.
Also also, I'm assuming the blue Carribean + African coastal dots are French overseas islands right? A tourism based economy propped up so your colonial overlords can maintain 1/100th of the prestige they had 200 years ago is peak economy.
Also also also, holy shit looking more and more at this map in maddening. Singapore, the fash little state where you can't chew gum but can commit extreme financial crimes, is advanced. Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan are advanced (but not China). How the fuck is Canada advanced. Maple syrup and bad pseudo-American culture is not advanced. Same goes for Australia and New Zealand. Sorry "mates", emus and Peter Jackson films aren't the bread and butter of a thriving economic system. And why isn't Greenland included in Denmark if all the French shits are...
None of the gulf states are advanced. Maybe even libs know oil money is going to dry up in the next century. Or maybe its racism. Or is it a lack of "liberal democracy"? Their buddies in Ukraine are also excluded for reasons??? How is israel "advanced" but the Putin epic owners not???
Overall: Didn't know "'Service' based economy with a dying welfare state" and/or "stagnant industrial/agricultural nation" was peak economy. Guess I should have gone to economy 101.
Sorry but something being made in a country is a sign of a basic economy. Advanced economies don't make stuff.
Advanced economies do sports gambling, crypto rugpulls and AI chat bots.

advanced economies only make apps. this is why sweden, finland and the baltics are blue, they make computer games and spotifys and such (this employs like 100 people total and makes a lot of money for one guy in a fedora)
economy!
Same as how direct laborers are seen as menial/low-skill while the owners and middle-managers make the most money for “managing” the work
A lot of the white supremacy maps like this one are just gdp per capita plus human development index plus vibes. Unless they state explicitly what the map is you can't learn anything from it unless you try deciphering their brainworms.
