    we could say he is running surplus

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of-countries_by_external_debt  has the list you are looking for.

    Editing and commenting seem to be fowled-up. The url above is correct but you will have to follow the lead into the site a couple of steps to see it.

    Sorry Robert, I hadn't read your comment before posting mine.

    Probably Norway, they struck oil thirty years ago and have lived well ever since.


    The UK also struck oil about the same time, and look at us now.

    over 2 trillion in debt

    I would say "Israel"

    None.Every country owes money. The real measure of degree of indebtedness is expressed as debt as a percentage of G.D.P.


    Here are the rankings.

    That means Canada is in much better shape than US and UK.

    Yes, and fortunately the governing Conservative Party continues to reign in spending while projecting a balanced budget by March 31st, 2014.

    I would guess China.


    But I'm sure they owe money to someone somewhere.

    cucumber

    about 400 billion debt

    Brunei!!

    It might be Canada

    cucumber

    over a trillion in debt

    I think Switzerland would be on the debt-free or low debt list.  Also Alberta, Canada (even though it's not a country) is debt free.

    cucumber

    over 1 trillion in debt

    Cucumber - I had no idea - it was just a wild guess. Thanks for clearing that up. I am kind of disappointed because I like Switzerland so much. r/yvonne57
