If someone were to build city blocks that contained 10 homes valued at $100,000 per home, you would end up with ten houses to a block, ten blocks to a mile and a hundred blocks per square mile. It would take 10,000 square miles to reach $1 trillion in value. This would be more than the size of six U.S. states: Vermont, 9,615 square miles; New Hampshire, 9,351 square miles; New Jersey, 8,722 square miles; Connecticut, 5,544 square miles; Delaware, 1,954 square miles; and Rhode Island, 1,545 square miles.
I'm glad I'm from Delaware, and not that pip-squeak little Rhode Island! 
Picture Dr Evil demanding "One Quadrillion dollars..., M-WAHAHAHA!".
Remember Carl Sagan describing the galaxy as having "Billions and billions" of stars.
Imagine tens of millions storming DC.......
