Debt, I know I know its morally dubious, but yes, debt, a garunteed return on your investment (though the timeframe is variable depending on what countries debt you buy into) typically from what I've read, you'll make about 40% on whatever you put in.
American Debt atm looks to be a good place to start, since theres a lot of it and a reletively stable system of governance in place to garuntee a return.
Dunno however how you'd get in touch with a debt trader though.
Bwahahahahaha!
Untill we start our "revolution" and declare ourselves a new and independant country, irresponsible for the debts of the former USA.
I wonder how that would work actually, if hypothetically, North Carolina removes itself from the Union, can we claim no responsibility for federal debt?
hmmmm....
No, this wouldn't work, you can change your leaders, the country's name, and even its boarders, but the debt still remains, just ask half of Africa and Iraq.
As long as the WTO isn't wiped off the face of the earth, you're highly unlikely to loose any money, but theres is again the proviso that it will take longer to see a return on your investment if the country you invest in goes belly up, in such a case, you have to wait untill such time as it picks itself up and dusts itself before your reward would start to trickle in.
In a theoretical situation such as the one you describe, the debt would be divided as a percentage to all the states involoved in the uprising, the total debt would remain, but instead of it being in one place, it would now be all over the place, with the debt where the original money went. The WTO are like the international equivilent of the IRS or britains tax office (I almost said orafice, either would be appropriate). And like them, they won't rest until every last penny is paid back
