I'm curious as to what determines the standings. Is it by the number of corupt officials, the percentage of corrupt officials, the corruptness per capita, or the severity of corruptness? :shock:
Good to know the USA and the UK fall somewhere in-between. Perhaps not too corrupt, yet just corrupt enough. :twisted:
