I've noticed that many companies have yearly revenues on the order of many
(non-insignificant countries). With countries though, yearly revenues are
usually called gross domestic product (GDP). I therefore present a comparison
of national revenues and corporate GDPs:
| Company? | Rank within type | GDP (billions of USD) | Name |
|:--------:|:----------------:|:---------------------:|:------------------|
| | 1 | 18,558 | USA |
| | 2 | 11,383 | China |
| | 23 | 509 | Taiwan |
| Y | 1 | 482 | Walmart |
| | 24 | 474 | Poland |
| | 37 | 306 | Israel |
| Y | 6 | 305 | Samsung |
| | 38 | 302 | Denmark |
| | 39 | 295 | Singapore |
| Y | 7 | 273 | Royal Dutch Shell |
| Y | 8 | 270 | Vitol |
| Y | 9 | 268 | ExonMobil |
| | 40 | 266 | South Africa |
| | 42 | 253 | Columbia |

This table does not include state-owned companies. Fun fact -
[Vitol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitol), which has a revenue of $270B is
headquartered in Switzerland, which has a GDP of $652B.
