The Top Ten Most and Least Corrupt Countries in the World

Transparency International is the neighborhood watchdog of government. This governmentally unaffiliated organization takes it upon itself to analyze the corruption levels of all the nations, governments, and corporations. Even crunched those dirty numbers and slimy facts, to produce a list of the worst kind of corrupted governments (downright nasty), and the squeakiest of clean countries in the world.

This year's list is lovingly called the Corruption Perceptions Index, and the 177 participants were graded on a curve.

So, let's kick it all off with the ten most corrupt countries:



#10. Syria.



#09. Turkmenistan.



#08. Uzbekistan.



#07. Iraq.



#06. Libya.



#05. South Sudan.

#04. Sudan.

#03. Afghanistan.



#02. North Korea.



#01. Somalia.



And now, to the top ten least corrupt countries:



#10. Canada.



#09. Australia.



#08. Netherlands.



#07. Switzerland.



#06. Singapore.

#05. Norway.



#04. Sweden.



#03. Finland.



#02. New Zealand.

#01. Denmark.



So, if you're planning on making a move, shoot for the Scandinavian countries, or one of the nice British commonwealths. And, incase you're wondering (because I know you are), the U.S. is #19. My darling country Nigeria is #144, and quite frankly, I'm nowhere near surprised.
