the claim
Sovereign nations running fiat monetary systems can completely eliminate their national debt
the verdict
OVERSTATED
true in a weaker form than the claim states
confidence 0/100

what the evidence does support

Sovereign nations running fiat monetary systems possess theoretical mechanics to issue currency without strict financial constraints, though mainstream economics emphasizes that eliminating national debt causes severe inflation.
