I am in the process of making my own calculator as a personal exercise in programming. The problem persists that nations inside regions with nation populations exceeding 300 do not have the luxury of xml feeds anymore and as a result not very many existing calculators provide data to these players. It is my intention to make a calculator that will.

The problem as you might have guessed is the formula to figure out individual GDP's. I read in a NSwiki article that Commerce Heights had released his formulae but the link that was provided was a deadend.

I have searched for a thread that may have copied it but so far, no luck. I also am curious if anyone knows of the existence of these tables that were used apparently in the formulae itself based on UN categories? Thanks.

NSTracker (http://nstracker.jfsoftware.com/) is based off the NSEconomy forumla but works for large regions, though it doesn't have features of NSEconomy that require the Regional XML feed.
