You need to specify what kind of debt you are referring to, and give a source.

Typo on "United States of America". But otherwise a fun (and worrying) quiz!

defo need to include a source. looks like you've used the wikipedia link for total external debt, which is both public and privately held debt, and gross (doesn't take into account the huge cash reserves of china, germany, norway etc.).

Someone did a similar quiz recently, and I felt the same about Luxembourg. That debt works out to almost $4,000,000 for each Luxembourger. Good luck paying that off.

If the USA had a dabt as big a Luxembourg per capita, they'd have a debt aroun $1,250,000,000,000,000 or 1.25 Quadrillion.

Wow interesting quiz. Almost all first world countries. Goes to show that we have way too big of a spending problem in the first world. Looks like austerity is the future.
