I noticed that the GDP value given for Europe and Central Asia, 1.88 Trillion, is less than the GDP of several countries in this group, i.e. Germany. This suggests that the cumulative value is incorrectly calculated.

also, European (and Central Asian) Population is wrong. it is there something like 280 million whereas the real value is more than 700 million.

This appears to be a layout error. According to http://data.worldbank.org/region/ECA , $1.888T was the 2012 GDP for Europe & Central Asia (developing only).  That page list the 20 small developing nations in that region which are included.  However, according to http://data.worldbank.org/region/EMU , $12.19 trillion was the 2012 GDP for the Euro area.  Then, according to http://data.worldbank.org/region/EUU , $16.69 trillion was the 2012 GDP for the European Union. Hence, the developed European nations should have been listed under one of these regions. If anyone knows of a better way to contact Google and/or if someone from Google should see this, please reply.
