Population of England Worth 660 Billion Pounds

The government is paying compensation to the families of those killed in the 7/7 terrorist attacks. Based on the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, each life lost is worth 11,000 pounds. Extrapolating to the entire English population, the government estimates the worth of the entire country to just 660 billion pounds, or roughly 95% of the nation's GDP.

That's a pretty cheap price for the entire country.
