Hello Elmatador,
You are absolutely right. We do need a measure of various countries' vulnerability to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, i.e. the collapse of the US economy.
Countries which don't export to the US are the least vulnerable.
Here are a few guesses.
Russia, eastern Europe, Thailand, Malaysia <
Australia, Brazil << Japan, China, Canada,India.
< means "less than". The symbol << means "much less than".
It's also possible that the US currency could collapse first with their economy moving along for a while albeit with high inflation. In that case the big losers would be China and Japan.
Others would not be affected much.
