Correlation doesn't equal causation. Colonial powes made up big states in the regions they formerly occupied, throwing together a bunch of different ethnicities that don't belong because nationalist pressure was so high that they couldn't properly deal with the situation.

This. My guess is once you control for other factors (IQ, style of government, coastlines, resources, etc.) the correlation between size and wealth will vanish.
