THE WORLD PROBABLY CAPE VERDE ON LET ALONE TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE BEST WAY HOW INSANE THIS IS AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND ECONOMICS OF LET'S BREAK IT FOR STARTERS, A POPULATION OF 500,000 PEOPLE, WHILE SPAIN HAS JUST UNDER 50 MILLION* PEOPLE. 100 TIMES LARGER. ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING, CAPE VERDE GDP (2026) IMF (2026) Nominal (current) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Cabo Verde is $3.45 billion ($3,448,000,000) as of 2026, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Cabo Verde GDP 3,000,000,000 2,000,000,000 1,000,000,000 1985 1990 1995 OF ABOUT $3.5 DWARFED BY SPAIN'S NOMINAL GDP $2 TRILLION THAT MAKES SPAIN 600 TIMES LARGER BY THAT METRIC. HOW INSANE THAT IS SPAIN COULD BUY CAPE VERDE HUNDREDS THEY WANTED TO. IF THOSE TWO LET'S TALK ABOUT CAPE VERDE'S INCOME PER CAPITA IS HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICH CONSTITUTES 16% OF SPAIN'S 41 THOUSAND INCOME PER CAPITA. SOMEHOW, WITH THAT TYPE OF ECONOMIC AND POPULATION DISPARITY, ABLE TO FORCE ALL ODDS. OF PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE OUTRIGHT FAVORITE, BE ASKED: ARE THEY A DARK HORSE THIS YEAR?
