Miscalculation reveals Spain is richest country

A major miscalculation by Spain’s financial department has hidden the fact that Spain has been the world richest country for the past 40 years. The mistake began almost 50 years ago when, the then illiterate dictator, General Franco failed to carry the one when adding up the countries tax returns. This culminated in the current calculation of the nations GDP at 1.6 trillion rather than 16 trillion, making the country 2 trillion richer than the United States.

The error was discovered during a public address by current Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Carlos Gonzales Costa Zapareto, better known as Bob. After staring at the financial data for near fifteen minutes in front of the Spanish press, Bob finally announced “Fuck, we shouldn’t have joined the EU.”

This revelation also means that Spain’s old currency Pesetas, formerly a substitute for toilet paper, is now the world’s most valuable currency. The currency is so valuable that it is now being used by countries that have nothing to do with Spain.
Both Greece and Turkey have decided to use Pesetas to try clear their national debt.

Once the initial embarrassment has cleared, Spain will surely enjoy their new position as the world’s superpower and have already revealed plans to invade “most of Western Asia.”
