What definition of "Debt" is used? I think that you'll find that once all the "off-balance sheet" debt is added to the UK figure, the UK's percentage would be well over 100%, probably around 133%.
Same with the US debt. It's 12.something trillion, not 8.7.
Only reason the Russkies are low is that they have everything nationalised. So there's no money to print if the government buys something, their factories work for free.
The only deficit is from foreign trade, it costs a lot of money to steal all that western technology, probably more than they get back from selling military goods to Iran and North Korea.
