Weinbaum's Universe - World facts

Following on from the previous post, here are some carefully researched (yeah, right...) figures for the main nations circa 2100, based on the political situations previously described. Anything look implausible?

Later Now completely revised - hope this makes a bit more sense...

Nation United Americas Brazilian Federation Russian Empire Europe Britain and allies Africa Pacific Alliance China [1]	Population (Billions) 0.96 0.42 0.33 0.46 1.05 0.60 0.35 1.40	GNP (Billions) 14,592 4,620 3,036 6,164 15,225 1,260 1,925 < 600	Military Spending (billions) 583.7 184.8 151.8 180.9 761.3 68.0 134.6 Unknown	Average Income (dollars) 15,200 11,000 9,200 13,400 14,500 2,100 5,500 < 400	Life Expectancy (years) 85 82 85 88 87 72 75[2] < 50	Infant Mortality per 1000 births 2.7 4.1 3.6 2.9 4.5 22.8 16.5 > 250	Registered Spacecraft 54 16 18 23 26 3 2 None	Interplanetary Colonies 6 2 3 5 4 None None None
[1] All figures for China are estimates based on partial data and should be treated with caution. [2] Currently reduced due to deaths of Pacific War veterans, will probably rise to 80+ within ten years.

How does Brazil's GNP end up three times that of Europe's when they have comparable populations and Average Incomes?

Crap maths? I've done something stupid here, and I'm too tired to sort it now, I'll have a look when I'm properly awake.
