Global Corruption


It appears (from this post anyway!) that corruption is pretty widespread globally. That might be a newsflash to all you have been living in a hole your whole lives, but thats the way it is. The photo above represents the current level of corruption throughout the earth. The countries in blue are not so corrupt while the more red the country, the more corrupt it is. I found it pretty interesting that Russia is listed as more corrupt than Mozambique!! Out of 179 countries (1 being good, 179 being terrible) Mozambique was tied for the 111th while Russia was tied 143rd (with Gambia, Indonesia, and Togo). Canada is tied for 9th with Norway. USA is 20th on the list. Tied for #1 is Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand. At the very bottom and the most corrupt countries listed are Myanmar and Somalia.
