You're looking for a GDP per-capita plot, but that's not what this plot is showing. That's a different plot - for a different purpose.

It's purchasing power per capita actually. Not GDP. Except for US since it's dollar anyways.

It's still called GDP or GDP per capita, the units are just PPP instead of USD.
