Looking at this it's funny to hear Slovenia sometimes being accused of being selfish to leave Yugoslavia, prospering while others were held back by the war ... when in fact it was constantly way ahead, in the 70s and 80s just as it is now.

Fun fact, we lost many companies because the yugo market was gone since they were off shooting eachother.

It's weird to use "North Macedonia" in the context of Yugoslavia

Interesting data though

Tool:

Python/matplotlib

The population data was available at 10 year increments from 1960 to 2010. Missing years between were interpolated and for 1952-1960 and 2010-2018 the first/last available number was used.

Edit: the x-axis are incorrectly marked. It should say "year" instead of "leto"

Data is incorrect. Croatian GDP is larger than Serbian.

Im guessing here, but maybe they're counting Kosovo as a part of Serbia. That would maybe explain this.

Seems like the economy was doing just great until the 80s

What about the Kosovo? It´s an independent country after all.

You should also label the dates correctly, they are all Ex-You countries.

The GDP data does not include Kosovo. It is not stated why in the documentation, I assume because of the fact it's not recognised by a large number of countries

Probably because the Kosovo was a part of Serbia, instead of being a Yugoslav republic.

... not really. Only slightly above 50 percent of world countries recognize kosovar independence. Not even all of the eu countries recognize it...

The Kosovo is recognized by 115 of 193 UN member states. It became part of Serbia 1912, before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries.

It was a *colony of the ottomans for centuries.

Maybe you can call it that way. But the Kosovo is not inhabited by Serbs, so as part of Serbia it was a colony of them. That´s why they gained independence.

No I agree with afterwards, but let’s not whitewash the ottomans horrific colonialism for 500+ years.

Data wouldn't exist as it's obviously taken from the constituent republics.
