It's not revenues, it's market cap that matters.
And the "market cap" of a country is how much it costs to buy all the
shares(voters) and get them to vote in your hostile takeover proposal...
from what I hear you can buy an aussie's vote for 2 pints.. so your market
cap is well under 100M USD even if it were good beer (which I hear... isn't
required! any beer will do!). I'd be worried indeed.
(not that the US is safe either)
