If you click the link, the blurb under the picture says it approximates the country with the closest GDP to that state. So, in the case of California, if California were it's own country it's GDP would fall at the #8 spot on the list of countries ranked by GDP (Highest to lowest). That is where France resides(or resided with the list was made), so It becomes France.
Or, much more simply, France has about the same GDP as California.
