            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.

                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.
                  commented 15 years ago

                  I would guess China.


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

                        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 - 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
