Being number one out of two means you're the majority. Being number one out of over a hundred does not. You claimed that because the US is number one (with 15.6% of world GDP), the other >100 countries (with 84.4% of world GDP) have "zero weight".

"The rest of the world is irrelevant" doesn't go over well and gets downvoted because it's obviously false.




Is GDP the relevant metric to assess this?

On credit/debit card transaction volume North America represents 40+% of global market.
