Countless companies around the world are bringing in big money, but only one can nab the No. 1 spot for a given country. 

The Fortune Global 500 is made up of the largest countries worldwide based on revenue. Those companies are spread across 33 different countries and regions. In some cases, the top companies in a given country are mostly or entirely state-owned, like Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia. But in others, they’re fully in the private sector, like Walmart in the U.S., which has held the No. 1 spot on the Global 500 for nine consecutive years. 

Energy companies are (unsurprisingly) heavily represented on the list; and in many countries with only one Global 500 company, that company is the nation’s biggest energy producer or supplier. But other biggest-in-their-nation companies are leading brands in other global industries, like automakers Volvo in Sweden and Toyota in Japan.
