Corrupt Countries

That would be an interesting map but it is too small for me to read. Do you have a larger version or a source for the original? I'd really like to look at it.
Thank you Doc. It's still pretty blurred on my computer but it's usable. It seems that I've been in some of the more corrupt countries in the world ... a long time ago and I've no intentions of going back. 
I'd like to see similar maps just for the USA showing the more/less corrupt states. More/less corrupt counties. More/less corrupt cities.
But that said, this map is not really a surprise. Nations with freer market systems are less corrupt than nations with state controlled markets. The map certainly shows that pretty well.

There is corruption in all levels of government to one extent or another, that’s why draining the swamp is such a tedious process, you have to ferret out all the bad actors in each segment of government and purge them and their cohorts to break the chain. The corruption isn’t always a multimillion dollar thing, it can be nickel and dime, but anytime that someone is profiting from some segment of a government process it is costing the taxpayers and therefore it needs to be stopped.
I would kinda like to know the standards upon which this corruption was based. What I find interesting are the differences in Caribbean islands where corruption is well known. And yet some, like Jamaica and Puerto Rico, seem to thrive whilst Haiti with similar resources, are "S-holes."
"Why?" would seem to be an appropriate question.

We've got corruption in this country no doubt but until you've been to some of the "corruption hotspots" noted on the map, you really don't know what corruption is ... and it's BLATANT. It starts at the immigration and customs on the way in to the country and ends when you get back on the plane to get the hell out of it.
