The Economist's Buttonwood blog has posted a Global Debt Comparison visualization at http://buttonwood.economist.com/content/gdc. You can use the page to compare how deeply in debt various countries are.

The world total is $35 trillion and counting. Fortunately we just owe that money to other earthlings rather than, say, some other planet.

It's not a zero sum map. e.g. It only tracks debt, but individuals can lend money to gov't as well as pension funds, mutual funds, etc...
