OECD Country Statistic Profile 2009
International Monetary Fund Country Information
In some ways, a nation is subject to the same economic and financial forces that affect a corporation:
Interest Rates: if interest rates are high, and people are worried about their jobs, then national consumption spending declines.
Currency: if the value of the currency is depreciating then the cost imports become more expensive and outstanding borrowings also become more expensive.
European Union Article III-76 mandates that government deficits may not exceed 3% of GDP. If the excessive deficit continues then the EU may impose an order that the offending nation increase taxation or decrease spending. If the offending nation fails to comply then the EU may impose a fine on the nation.
Current Account Deficit: difference between how much a nation saves and how much it invests; (coupled with): measure of a nation's international transactions; when the outflow of international transactions is higher than revenues generated by international transactions, the shortfall is made up through borrowed funds. Includes not only trade but tourism, investments, services, brokerage fees, international phone tolls, and money sent by immigrants back home to another nation. If the money coming into a nation goes into productive investment, then the nation will have the wherewithal to pay back foreign debt. If it is used for consumer goods/lifestyles, the national deficit will continue to increase.
Merchandise Trade Deficit: when the purchase of imports into the country exceed the sale of exports going to other nations.
The United Nations Development Program anually publishes the Human Development Report, which includes the Human Development Index (HDI) that examines such factors as a nation's income distribution, standard of living (measured by purchasing power parity, PPP, income), health, education, equality, child mortality and life expectancy. hdr.undp.org/en/reports/global/hdr2009/

The World bank / Banco Mundial provides development funds.
A number of nations who have earned substantial foreign currency reserves either through either commodities sales or current-account surpluses through trade operate Soveriegn Wealth Funds. There is concern about the fund making investments in strategic businesses in foreign nations as the fund managers ultimately answer to a foreign government (they are not managed by intermediary asset managers). The concern is over national security such that there may be some sort of political motivation for the investment becuase it may provide a foreign government with the ability to exercise influence over business sectors, activities and decisions that are in the national interest of the fund but not in the national interest of the nation where the asset(s) are domiciled. Secondly, there is the complaint that there is insufficient disclosure from the funds regarding their management, operations and investment guidelines.
National pension funds usually invest in local currency assets but are increasingly investing outside of the nation: NPS (South Korea), Superannuation Fund (New Zealand), GPIF (Japan)
