Total Population of All Countries

Here the population of the counties in millions of people:

• Italy (59)
• Egypt (110)
• Mexico (130)
• United States (335)
• Japan (125)
• Spain (47)
• Ethiopia (123)
• Guinea (14)
• Russia (145)
• Philippines (116)
• Cyprus (1.2)
• United Kingdom (67)
• Bermuda (0.065)
• Bahamas (0.4)

Approximate total = 1.28 billion

Combined GDP (Nominal, in USD)

• Italy: $2.1 trillion
• Egypt: $475 billion
• Mexico: $1.4 trillion
• United States: $26.8 trillion
• Japan: $5.0 trillion
• Spain: $1.4 trillion
• Ethiopia: $156 billion
• Guinea: $18 billion
• Russia: $1.7 trillion
• Philippines: $440 billion
• Cyprus: $28 billion
• United Kingdom: $3.1 trillion
• Bermuda: $7.5 billion
• Bahamas: $15 billion

Summing these we get around 42.5 trillion USD.

India’s Approximate Population and GDP

• India’s population: ~1.42–1.46 billion
• India’s nominal GDP: ~$3.5–$3.7 trillion (2023 estimates vary slightly)

So in conclusion India has nearly 200 million more people than those countries combined, but a GDP that’s less than 1/10th as much.
