China A

I'm not going to repeat the whole list, but everyone else gets a C or a D. The US gets a C on this scale.

Update: The above list shows the local currency ratings, but the important rating is for foreign currency. "A sovereign foreign currency rating reflects its opinion of the sovereign's willingness and ability to service debt issued in currencies of foreign jurisdictions."

Update 2 (11/25/11):  Denmark is now an AA+.  So now there are only 7 AAA countries left.
