I titled this "Most Profitable Countries" because it's a little more eye-catching than "counties with the highest trade surpluses". And, yes, I know, it's a bit of an oversimplification.

Interesting quiz. Financial stability, in the case of Ireland and Russia doesn't seem to be a huge factor. Neither does lack of financial stability, in the case of Norway and Germany.

@Rhys, you have a point there, particularly with regards to Ireland. While Irish public debt is a big problem due to the financial crisis, the Irish export sector has grown during that time period.

A lot of it's about oil - four of the countries on the list (Russia and Norway included) are big oil exporters.

If Germany didn't have Mercedes, BMWs or Volkswagons it would not be on this list
