Britian is one of the bottom ones.

 

[T.c.w7468]

For bottom Norway or Saudi?

Saudi Arabia is actually one of the top 5...

So that gives you the top 5. Just arrange them in the right order.

(dont forget about the bottom 5)

Countries that don't make anything and have no natural resources to speak of, but are still wealthy enough to buy things... hmm...

France? No, they're too depressed to buy stuff.

Italy? Spain?

Or perhaps "failing" economies, or economies that receive lots of aid?
Zimbabwe? South Africa? Sudan? Ethiopia?

Bah, too many to pick from

 

[Steph]

Careful with those stats Steph - the American economy is HUGE, so it is able to handle a larger negative current acc't balance than smaller countries. As a % of their GDP, the US might not be so bad (I don't know).

Actually, they are not very good in % of GDP

Don't look as it contains info about the current question (unless like me you don't plan to answer)

Spoiler :

Nor with balance/capita

 

[Mise]

Kinda ruined the question didn't it? Now we just need to rank those red countries by GDP, roughly.

I'm surprised about Australia. They're part of the Anglosphere, yes, but they have a lot of raw materials... I guess it's not a lot in terms of value add.

Steph just gave you a big hint guys...
even though I asked it not in terms of GDP

 

[Steph]

Oups!

I got carried away... It's true they are% of GDP a / capita, so not a direct answer to the question, but it could help

Well, logicaly then, 4. Saudi Arabia, 5. Russia. (somes sources acutally have the same answer you have, but my main source shows Saudi Arabia over Russia.)

Now the bottom.

Hint: The remaining bottom one is in the southern hemisphere.
