2. I’ve heard a lot about how Greece and Lebanon are getting totally screwed because of their debt, but Japan seems to be running like normal? What are the implications for being this in debt?

3. The background image makes the map much harder to read, especially because it uses similar colors, and is not otherwise relevant.

   The drop-shadows make the text harder to read.

   The legend entries don’t each need to say “Debt-To-GDP”, and their text could be bigger/more readable if they didn’t.

4. Canada’s situation isn’t as good as it looks like here, since a lot of the debt is owned by provinces rather than the federal government, and that’s not factored here.

5. The US debt to GDP is 124% for your information.

6. Sorry OP, but this belongs in dataisfuckinguglyandterriblypresented. Almost suspicious that its an ironic/sarcastic post or bot post or both
