The economy of Germany is a highly developed social market economy.[24] It has the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fifth by GDP (PPP). In 2017, the country accounted for 28% of the euro area economy according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).[25]
The EU has a similar population size, wide censorship laws for this kinda of conduct, and a similar economy size. China has a similar economy and much stricter speech laws. The US isn't economically special because of free speech
The lack of free speech laws means its impossible to accurately determine whether the reported figures are accurate, since the government can just censor what they don't like. So no, I (and I imagine most conservatives) don't accept that conclusion.
oh ok, well if were in the conspiracy zone then you just have to accept that actually they have a 1 million times greater economy, because no figures can be trusted.
Facetiousness aside, the censorship laws in the EU are around hate speech like flying Nazi symbology, not laws that let them silence people reporting economic numbers.

Looks OK
Compare it to US states. Hint: its at the bottom in GDP and income per capita
No it isn't. German GDP per capita exceeds that of Florida.

Edit: fixed a typo, changed a “must” to “much”
