Analysis

By total government debt, Micronesia ranks 191st and Germany 7th among the 194 sovereigns tracked on this site.

On a per-citizen basis the picture can look different from the nominal totals: a resident's notional share of the government debt in Germany is roughly 115.3× that in Micronesia ($41,847 vs $363 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 63% of GDP, well above Micronesia's 9%, meaning Germany owes far more relative to the size of its own economy — even where the nominal, dollar-for-dollar comparison above suggests otherwise.

The IMF puts Germany at 47% of GDP net of financial assets, and publishes no net debt figure for Micronesia. Micronesia spends about 0.3% of government revenue on net interest ($934 thousand in 2025), and Germany about 1.8% ($43.9 billion in 2025). See the full interest ranking.

The gap between them is widening: Germany's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($10K/sec vs −$0.12/sec for Micronesia), adding roughly $895,719,168 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 732.5× Micronesia's (0M), which is part of why the nominal and per-capita comparisons above can point in different directions — a government's debt load scales loosely with the size of both its economy and its population, not either alone.
