This is Government debt btw... So it doesn't count only Federal debt it counts subsoverein debt from Provinces, States or Districts etc as well (I don't think it includes Munincipal debt tho)

Those countries have less access to lines of credit, so it's less likely they can even get the money in the first place...debt =/= broke (in most cases on this list, except Greece obviously)

And Greece was not a severely torn country before the crisis and hence they got the credit
