Simple ETF/index funds based portfolios usually have some combination of domestic and international equity. In Canada, for example, the popular couchpotato mixes Canadian equity, US equity and "rest of the world" equity, but then only has a "Canadian Aggregate Bond" fund such as $VAB.CA

Similarly, the various Vanguard ETFs for bonds are all various terms, various entities (government versus business) but never international.

Why is that? Is there no benefit to diversifying the origin of your bonds? Is it too costly? Too much of a hassle? Interest rate risk?
