SOVEREIGN DEFAULT
Sovereign default is the failure to comply in the repayment schedule of the government debts of a country. Countries try hard to avoid a sovereign default because a record of default make it harder for countries to borrow in the future. But being a sovereign country has its perks and one of them is the exception to standard bankruptcy laws. Therefore, sovereign countries have a good chance of deflecting a debt responsibility devoid of legal consequences.
