IMD's World Competitiveness Yearbook

http://www02.imd.ch/wcc/ranking/

IMD's pretty stingy with its ratings -- they want you to buy the book -- but if you're just looking for an overall indicator, follow the link to a chart. The IMD's competitiveness index is made of four components, at least two or three of which relate to country risk: Economic Performance, Government Efficiency, Business Efficiency, and Infrastructure. The WEF produces a similar index and is (slightly) less stingy.
