    What a country could produce if it used all of its resources efficiently. In terms of elementary microeconomics, it's the highest point on the production possibility frontier.

    Unless you've gotten some kinky production function, in the standard 2 good case it will be any on the production frontier.

    Keep in mind the definitial differences between GNP and GDP and you just apply the definition of GDP and note the differences in jurisdiction.

    I don't think that's correct: it's GNP rather than physical output,, so relative prices matter.
