This could be a problem for an accounting app implemented in
Javascript--a 64-bit int can exactly represent integers that cannot be
exactly represented in a IEEE 64-bit double-precision floating point
value, which is the only kind of number that Javascript is spec'd to
have.

I wonder, though--for a country with a budget that doesn't fit into a
32-bit int--do you think any of the budget items are measured in
increments smaller than, say, $1,000 (or whatever the local currency
is)?  Surely you could scale such a budget to fit?
