From Transparency International published in Le Monde, french newspaper.
Not surprising, Italy and Greece happen to be the two bad students of the "EU of 15" (shows how big is the problem for these two nations). Eastern Europe is concerned too.
Not surprising either to see nations like Venezuela, North Korea, Myanmar, Somalia, Cuba and former USSR republics of central Asia and many regimes from Africa to be among the most corrupt nations. However, it seems that Russia's fighting policy against corruption of the early 2000s seem to have disappeared or at least isn't successful anymore.
One can notice exemplary nations like Botswana, Uruguay, Chile, Iceland. (outside of "Triad"*/Commonwealth nations who are most exemplary in this area). Rest of the world seem to be involved in corruption pretty much. Yellow= least corrupt nations. Red/Dark red: most corrupt nations.
What do you think?
