^ I don't think that's accurate. I the US's debt is 9 trillion that makes up only 37% of its GDP, then its GDP must be around $24 trillion, but the most recent estimates I've seen are around $14 trillion. The same thing with Canada; its national debt is under $1/2 a trillion and its GDP is about $1.25 trillion, so its debt makes up less than 40% of its GDP.
Is the CIA World Factbook known to have accuracy issues? I haven't had much experience with it...
