Any one have any idea what Morocco's GDP was in 1900? |

Figures for GDP for undeveloped African and Asian nations from that time or any period pre 1960 are simply not available. |

Approximately $3,000,000,000, most of which would be tied up in agricultural activity. It had a very low GDP/capita (< $700) for a population of around 4.5 million. |

What would be the main kind of income of them? And what would it have been approximately worth?

Agriculture. In Morocco, that would consist of grain in the main, with some fruit and sheep. |

I don't think it would be possible to find out. For an undeveloped state with various internal problems, they'd be lucky to get 2% of GDP in income, or $60 million. That would be equivalent to around £0.8 million. |

I know as of 2013 there exports were worth 22.23 billion. But that's not 1900 |

Would they have any national debt though they are underdeveloped? |

I would advise you not to play Morocco if that is what you have taken. It will only prove frustrating. |

No. I am not playing Morocco. Mykal is. I am playing as Spain and helping him out a bit.

Isn't the circle of life funny? Matt supplied me with plenty of info I needed to start my game as Portugal in WI. And now I'm doing the same favour to Myles.

Morocco shouldn't be played. It is a pawn between France, Britain and Germany, with Spain too weak to do anything about it. It has no economy, no industry, no military, no effective foreign relations, no prospects and no capacity for development in 1900. There are a lot of other positions better suited to someone starting out than Morocco, such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Australia, Argentina or Brazil. |

That looks roughly accurate; I don't think they were in a situation to run a surplus on a consistent basis. |

Well, at least I got it somewhat right. (for my first one anyway.) |

Would Spain have any surplus in their treasury.

It would be unlikely, a mere two years after the Spanish-American War. If they did, it would probably be a result of the payments from the United States and Germany for the sale of the Pacific islands. |

So for the surplus that they where getting in, where would it go? |

Given the exchange rate, the surplus amounts to very, very little; almost to the point of being meaningless. Spain is in a serious hole without a sponsor. |

Angus Maddison produced some approximations of GDP and population size which can be accessed here. |

Maddison's work is something we've been using for 7 or 8 years now. There are some discrepancies in his numbers due to changed boundaries; I believe we had a link to an excel file containing accurate European populations and GDPs. It is funny that I often work conversions to 1990 USD as a matter of course due to using Maddison so much. |

Dang, I didn't realise we had that. That fellow has some other interesting stuff: "British Economic Growth, 1270-1870: An Output -based Approach" (with Bruce Campbell, Alexander Klein, Mark Overton and Bas van Leeuwen). http://www.lse.ac.uk/economicHistory/whosWho/profiles/sbroadberry.aspx Edited by Matthew, Jun 8 2015, 05:45 PM.
