The 2004 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index

According to the annual survey by the Berlin-based organization Transparency International, the world's least corrupt country is Finland and its most corrupt countries are Bangladesh and Haiti. The index defines corruption as the abuse of public office for private gain, and measures the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among a country's public officials and politicians. It is a composite index, drawing on 17 surveys from 13 independent institutions, which gathered the opinions of business people and country analysts. Because of the absence of reliable data, only 146 of the world's countries are included in the survey. The scores range from 10 (squeaky clean) to zero (highly corrupt). A score of 5.0 is the number Transparency International considers the borderline figure distinguishing countries that do and do not have a serious corruption problem. Countries that have improved their rating since the 2003 index were Austria, Botswana, Czech Republic, El Salvador, France, Gambia, Germany, Jordan, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, United Arab Emirates and Uruguay. Countries that have a worse rating since 2003 include Bahrain, Belize, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Mauritius, Oman, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Whoopdy-doo... go my Finnish friends.

Estonia sharing the 31. - 34. place with 6.0. Could be better.

There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge...

I found that website so flattering for my own country. 9th, now that's not bad on bribery ratings for a country originally settled by petty criminals .

10th?  I though we used to be higher on that list.

Anyway, I'm surprised to see we're higher than Luxembourg.

Shocking! I had thought that the Philippines 'out-corrupted' Vietnam by leaps and bounds.

Brazil is like 5.9 .... Hmm... I expected it to be a bit lower, like 4.2, now that there's a big scandal going on with Lula's Administration.  So many corrupted people here.
Grrr..
