yep, that would pass the criteria

Plausibly it's trying to minimise land area with some degree of contiguity so it's not just picking random cities though. India's economy isn't much bigger than the 5th or 6th economy while having substantially more territory and population.

I think you've hit the nail on the head with "contiguity", and that alone makes this look so wrong to me. I mean, including Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia? China's Entire Coast, but NOT Taiwan?
