I astonished to see that there are still the states witnessing an out of hand corruption.Why is all so?do there is no intellectual class in such states which arise like those in France during French Revolution.I m a Pakistani and I m so sensitive about that issue because I m a lawyer and also a researching student preparing for CSS.so I would like to convey message to all of the state loyal entities to step forward to root it all once for all. |

India is far behind in corruption while compared to it's neighbouring countries. But still, most of the Indians believe that their country is the most corrupt. |

South Africa is certainly one of the most corrupt countries. The president, Jacob Zuma is incompetent and even the justice system has been "changed" to cover up his crimes. The country is governed by a lot of evil thugs where nepotism, bribery and corruption is tops. Then there are lunatics like Julius Malema who is an evil man. Avoid SA at all costs. There is no future there. |

Most of the communities in India (such as Bengali), are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty'(a theory introduced by an American anthropologist Oscar Lewis), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administrative system, weak mother language, continuous absorption of common space (mental as well as physical, both). We are becoming fathers & mothers only by self-procreation, mindlessly & blindfold. Simply depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a decent, caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour (values) to perform human way of parenthood, i.e. deliberately co-parenting of those children those are born out of ignorance, real poverty. All of us are being driven only by the very animal instinct. If the Bengali people ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycle of 'poverty') in their own life/attitude, involve themselves in 'Production of Space'(Henri Lefebvre), at least initiate a movement by heart, decent & dedicated Politics will definitely come up. - Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, 16/4, Girish Banerjee Lane, Howrah-711101, India. |

I can't believe Ukraine has so good results! Our government is probably paying to rating agency to be on the 107 place! :)) |

I think Spain should rank as more corrupt than it is depicted here. Bribery isn't the problem; extortion is the issue. We waited 4 years to get a permission passed by the town hall architect. Eventually he presented us with the fact that we had to pay 2,200 euros for him to give us a generic photocopied document, and we had to make out the cheque to his wife who we had never met. Only then would he pass the application for the permission to build on to the 'committee' at the town hall - we paid 300 euros in tax. So the local economy receives 300, and he received 2,200 for some useless pieces of paper. There was no other way of doing it - he was the 'gatekeeper' for the committee... |

Nearly all the communities in India(such as Bengali), are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty'(a theory once introduced by an US anthropologist Oscar Lewis), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administration system, weak(immature) mother language, continuous absorption of common space(mental & physical, both). Becoming parents only by (blindfold) self-procreation, simply depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a decent & caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour(values), i.e. deliberately co-parenting of those children who are born out of ignorance, real poverty. All of us is being driven only by the very animal instinct. Can the Indians(Bengali) ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycle of 'poverty') in their own life/attitude, start themselves 'Production of (social)Space’, at least initiate a movement, by heart. - Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, 16/4, Girish Banerjee lane, Howrah-711101, India. |

Most Corrupt Countries 31st October 2010 |
The "Corruption Perceptions Index 2010 Results" has been released by the Transparency International: The Global Coalition against Corruption. The 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index is based on 13 independent surveys. However, not all surveys include all countries. The results state that Somalia is the most corrupt country while Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore tie for first place with scores of 9.3, meaning they were seen as having the least amount of corruption, the organization said. As expected, Philippines is one the Top 50 2010 Most Corrupt Countries. Source: http://www.bazics.net/2010/10/2010-most-corrupt-countries-in-world.html |

Firstly, thank you NastionMaster for expending money and time to gather the data which you have. You have been around for some time now... a few years ago your data was becoming rusty, but now, you seem to have caught up again; congratulations. OK. to some of the people who take offense to the data. NationMaster is unbias. Yes, they use markers and quotients to assess and arrive at the useful data they supply; however, that is not an opportunity to take things personal. I have had the fortunate circumstance to either have lived or visited a number of the countries on this list and have my own opionions about what worked and what did not. As you can see from the list... ALL countries have corruption... even Iceland. Iceland did NOT score a perfect 10! Iran, Syria, Saudi, Kuwait, the United States, and a significant about of other countries are corrupt. The most disrespectful countries I have ever lived are: Bahrain, Iran, Denmark, United States, Bahamas, Kuwait, Saudi, United Arab Emirates, Germany, France, Egypt, Italy, and Argentina. The degrees of DISRESPECT vary with Bahamas and the Arab countries being the WORSE!!! When one is not able to do what one chooses, wishes without constant and perpetual harassment because the culture of the people are unreasonable, and defiant among those who may not share their views, that too is corruption. Corruption is not only nepotism and theft; it is also emotional, mental, physical, and Spiritual abuse. We can all benefit where we are by this report from NationMaster. Wherever anyone is in the world and on this list, do what you can to improve the situation in your country not find fault with NationMaster because they reported the reality. |

I think the list is a little confusing in it's layout. The list clearly shows #1 as the least corrupt, and the higher numbers being most corrupt. A few posters seem to be confused by this ordering. Most people would figure this out pretty quickly, but it should probably be clearer. Also, readers should check the definitions at the end of the list to see how it is figured before arguing which countries are most corrupt. For example, the idea that New Zealand charges $6.00 tax on a pack of cigarettes is not going to technically be corruption according to these statistics, and I can think of several reasons why taxes on cigarettes or gasoline might be imposed by a government for purposes not related to simply collecting revenue from citizens. Similar arguments are made in many posts here. If you want, debate why the methodology of the data collection is flawed or fails to include various types of corruption. But I interpret the definition to mean that it was compiled based on impressions of the level of corruption within a country by it's own populace. Most corruption is carried out by the most powerful segments of a society: Government, police, military, big business, and organized crime, etc., and is inherently protected by its own powers. So gathering hard stats is going to be tough because the most corrupt countries are going to be the least likely to prosecute and punish this corruption. So I think the self reporting method used in this list is a fair compromise, although not perfect. An example would be North Korea, which as far as I can tell is not on the list by that name or as it's proper name the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. It is by all accounts a highly corrupt country, but none of its citizens are available to survey, nor would you expect any of them to give a truthful answer if they could be surveyed! |

Serbia and Montenegro are two parts of the former Yugoslavia. Other parts have become independent nations (Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia/Hertzogovenia) but the futures of Montenegro and Macedonia are uncertain. Serbia was the master of all and doesn't want to lose any more people or land. With Slovenia and Croatia now independent, Serbia has lost its only access to the sea (i.e. they are landlocked yet again). Since this was one of the many contributing factors that led to World War I, it should be taken seriously. He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it. I wonder what happens to those who also do not learn geography? If you can't pronounce the name of a country, can't locate it on a map, and don't understand a little about its history then you shouldn't bomb, invade or interfere in its internal affairs. If you can pronounce Israel correctly, why can't you pronounce Iraq or Iran? The initial sound is the same. When television anchorpeople don't bother to pronounce properly, there isn't much hope for the ignorant masses. I wonder what would happen if one of them mispronounced Israel as "Eyesreal"? Would people keep quiet or would they do something about it? I think we all know the answer to that one. Well, Iraq is not "Eyerack" -- it is "Earrock"; Iran is not "Eyeran" -- it is "Earron" |

JUST THIS SITE IS A brainwashing web site. I don't believe in this data. Coincidentially, the most corrupsts countries are Ecuador, Venezuela, Iraq, and so. In other words, juts the countres in which United States has difficulties to have the control of the local monopolies. I don't know why this site is taking as a gospel for politicians or "researchers". An advice, please, if you want to talk about some particular country, go there and look the reality, NO THE STEREOTYPE or the CLASIFICATION according Uncle SAM. (American government always have his parcialized point of view). |

What a meaningless statistic this is... This is trying to put numbers to something that numbers don't much apply. As for halliburton, the company is not corrupt in the least. Most certainly it would be more accurate to say the US gov't is corrupt, but even then, compared to governments in Eduador, Cuba, Colombia? Not at al |

There are many different forms of government corruption and every country is likely to be affected to some degree. Definitions of government corruption include:
Corruption is more common in countries which have low political competition, few government accountability mechanisms, and few economic opportunities. If political opportunities outweigh economic opportunities, people will enter politics in order to make money which causes corruption to increase. Government corruption has profound effects on the country as a whole. Countries with a high level of government corruption will typically have a low GDP (gross domestic product) per capita, a low level of innovation and a low level of healthcare spending. This statistic is based on the perception of people in the country and as activities which are considered corrupt in some countries may be considered acceptable in others, these values do not necessarily measure the true level of corruption. |

Corruption affects a country in numerous ways. "Corruption in elections and in legislative bodies reduces accountability and representation in policymaking; corruption in the judiciary suspends the rule of law; and corruption in public administration results in the unequal provision of services (source). The World Bank argues that corruption "increases public investment while decreasing its quality and productivity", leaving the government less money to invest in infrastructure, health and education. Higher levels of corruption also dissuade companies from investing in a country, further hindering economic development.">Corruption has an inverse relationship with economic development - that is the lower a countries GDP per capita the more likely it is to figure highly on the corruption index. Some people believe that corruption is a result of a poor economy, and at least one study has found that increasing per capita income in a country would reduce corruption. However, the World Bank argues that corruption is a cause of low economic development - or at the very least contributes to low economic growth. Although many factors affect economic growth, it is telling that the most corrupt countries are amongst the world's poorest while the least corrupt countries are amongst the world's richest. Countries that are perceived to have high levels of corruption also tend to be in the lower half of the Human Development Index. |
