Unfortunately, Calif. only has 40M people.


California as a state actually has a bigger than Russia. It ranks as the world's fifth*-largest economy, with a gross state product of $4.080 trillion as of 2024 To put that into perspective, if California were a nation, it would rank behind only the United States, China, Japan, and Germany in terms of nominal GDP. As for Russia's economy, its GDP is approximately $2.06 trillion . This means California's economy is roughly 1.8 times larger than Russia's. The state's economy is driven by two major industries, being; Technology: ie Silicon Valley, which is home to many of the world's largest and most influential technology companies,including Apple, Alphabet, and Nvidia. Entertainment ie Hollywood, located in Los Angeles, which is the hub of the American film making.
