Read an interesting article from Voice of America

www.voanews.com/english/2009-11-17-voa23.cfm

it cites Transparency International who recently published a corruption index, ranking countries on a scale of 0-10 in terms of how much an effect corruption has within the country. (a score of 1 is severely corrupt, a score of 10 is no corruption)

see http://media.transparency.org/imaps/cpi2009/ for the global map with rankings.

The VOA article raises concerns over Afghanistan and Iraq as two of the most corrupt countries (ranking 2nd and T-4th most corrupt respectively)

I'm sure you're also wondering, The US is a 7.5, Canada is an 8.7 and New Zealand is the least corrupt at 9.4

I thought this index was interesting stuff to mull over -- What does it make you think about?

 
to be clear, the rankings don't indicate which is the most corrupt, rather The country with the lowest score is the one where corruption is perceived to be greatest among those included in the list.
