    Japan's National Government Debt to GDP is 220%,
    Italy's is 131%,
    Singapore = 115%,
    Belgium, France, Spain are between 95% and 104%
    Canada is 90%
    UK is 87%
    EU,overall, is at 86%
    USA is 82%
    Austria 79%
    Ireland 70%
    Germany 64%
    Finland is 64%

    Very few developed countries have a National Debt to GDP ratio that is less than 50% (Australia is at 40%, Netherlands is 49%, Sweden and Norway are at 37%, Denmark is 35%, Switzerland is 32%)
