While you wait for the US government to get back to work, check this cool looking visualisation:

lol. i wonder what the richest country (less debt?) is.

Damn!  There was a great video that someone did about a guy sitting at a bank trying to increase his debt with all the same numbers as the government, minus all the 0s.  
Found it

Considering nearly every country is in debt, it will be some small island country you've probably never heard of.

According to Wikipedia: Palau, Liechtenstein, Brunei, and Macau.

I'm assuming you're using this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co...ernal_debt

This one might be a bit better, since it considers GDP too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co...ublic_debt

But I couldn't find a list of countries by domestic equities (or net assets).
