Oh. External Debt. I accept your points.

Um, the UK figure is mid-2007, before any of the financial crisis. Since then we have been spending massively; I imagine the situation is much worse now. And that US figure is mid-2008, so it's also out of date compared to recent bailouts and stimuli.

Does world external debt mean sum of individual countries' external debts? Or is it Bank of Mars?
