Berlin - Transparency International, an anti-corruption organisation in Berlin, says Somalia and Myanmar are the most corrupt countries in the world. Denmark, Finland and New Zealand top the annual Transparency International list as the least corrupt countries. The Netherlands has moved from ninth to seventh place in the list of 180 countries. Transparency International stresses that even the least corrupt countries have still got more work to do. The organisation is positive about developments in South Africa, Namibia and Swaziland, which have shown that corruption can be combatted and that they are striving for political reform. The Transparency International list is based on data from twelve independent organisations.

...depends on which Somali government they investigated...
There are like three right?
Somalia may once have been a “country.” But now it’s not. It’s just lines on a map.
They have not been to Philly - have they?

We shouldn’t quibble here. The United Nations as a whole is a corrupt organization, led in large part by corrupt countries.
Zimbabwe should be #1.
Somalia is Swahili for Atlanta.
now the countries that didnt make #1 will have meetings to find ways to be more corrupt. “come on guys, let’s try harder, we can do it!”
Maybe they could import some Democrats.
A foreshadowing of what’s possibly coming the U.S. way if the U.S. isn’t careful. A socialistic U.S. will truly become a third world country for the long-term!
More corrupt than Pakistan, Zimbabwe or Nigeria?
I find that very hard to believe....
Ouch, that left a well deserved mark..
I'm amazed Atlanta's infrastructure doesn't collapse under the corruption, ineptness and incompetence of its "leadership"...
Or Detroit, but unlike Atlanta or Cleveland, without the glitter.
I thought Mexico was at the top of the list?
