What is the richest country in the world.

Just to settle a dis-agreement my mate reckons its Britain.:hihi:
No chance of that.
My view is Switzerland is the richest Country in the world with Japan, USA and Germany somewhere behind.

Do you mean the country with the richest people?

Or the country with the biggest economy?

Somewhere where they have loads of Oil, like Brunei

USA if you go on total Gross Domestic Product (table here (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-countries-have-the-highest-gdp.htm) )

However, if you want to go on GDP per capita its Luxembourg (http://www.aneki.com/richest.html)

Depends what you mean by rich.

GDP? Per-capita GDP? Liquidity?

Economists love these questions. :)

Not trying to be a smarty-pants but you might get different answers....
