EU Regions: GDP Per Capita
Following on my previous post here I show the GDP per capita (2008). First per country as you can see in the next table. Germany, France and the U.K. are not in the top, while they have the highest number of inhabitants. Norway, Switzerland and Denmark are the top three (besides Luxembourg). Bulgaria, Romania and Poland have the lowest GDP per capita.

Population Density In The EU
For a better perspective on what the main countries are in the European Union you can look at the population of the individual countries. First a table containing the inhabitants per country (2008). As you can see Germany, France and the United Kingdom are the top three for most inhabitants. The same top three applies also for the size of the economy (GDP). As you can see Poland with 38 million inhabitants is the most important East-European country, if you look at the people living in the country. Ireland has the lowest population of the West-European countries, with 4,4 million (besides Luxembourg).
Besides looking at countries you can also look at regions to get an even more detailed perspective. Especially the Netherlands, Germany, the U.K. and Italy are densely populated. France and Spain have their inhabitants more sparsely distributed over the country. You can identify the so called banana-shaped growth zone with a historically high growth rate and high population from England, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland to the North of Italy. This is the most densely populated area of Europe.

EFSF Guarantees Per Country (Total And Per Capita)
The EFSF is the Euro Zone Bailout Fund. Established on May 9 2010 and located in Luxembourg (registered as a company from Luxembourg).
In the last few weeks all 17 Euro Zone Members have ratified the bigger Euro Bailout Fund. The EFSF can now lend out 440 billion euros. In July Euro Zone leaders have agreed to a few amendments to the EFSF. It will also be able to finance recapitalization of financial institutions to through loans to governments. It can also intervene in the secondary markets (buy bonds on the markets of countries losing confidence from the markets) on the basis on an ECB analysis to avoid contagion. Lately the question has been raised by many whether the current amount of the EFSF is enough. Certainly not if Italy and Spain need bailout money as well.
In this chart the updated committed guarantees per country are pictured on the upper side and the guarantees person on the lower side of the graph. As you can see Germany is the biggest contributor to the EFSF with 211 billion euros committed guarantees. Luxembourg has the highest committed guarantees per person.
Note: K=1000. So 100K = 100 billion euros.

BNP Paribas is the biggest bank in France and even the biggest in the world with 2670 billion in assets (2.6 trillion). Deutsche Bank is the biggest bank in Germany and the second largest bank in the world. HSBC is the biggest bank in the United Kingdom and the third largest bank in the world.

Besides the current outstanding national debt, the United States has a lot of liabilities.
This table by Economy Watch with figures from the United States 2010 financial report (page 21) gives the total United States debt and liabilities.
