I am from Slovenia, our entire GDP is lower than what CIA and NSA get.
I am pretty sure that our government spying doesn't come even remotely close to what USA (and others in 5 eyes) does.
Maybe Russia and China have similar ambitions, nobody else comes close (France is probably envious, but their capabilities are limited).
So out of nearly 200 countries maybe half a dozen have similar programs. I would't call that everybody.
(Most other countries limit their spying to relevant local threats.)
PS: That doesn't mean that various spies in other countries don't have wet dreams about having similar capability to US, but that's all they have dreams.
