Most Corrupt Country?

The Transparency International Organization has conducted an investigation in order to rank countries according to their corruption level. They used a variety of information including, "questions relating to the bribery of public officials, kickbacks in public procurement, embezzlement of public funds and questions that probe the strength and effectiveness of public-sector and anti-corruption efforts." The list included 182 countries, the last of which being the most corrupt. The spot for most corrupt is tied between Somalia and North Korea. At the top of the list is New Zealand. The United States are ranked 24th, Canada 10th, and Singapore 5th.

It is interesting to go through the list of countries and see where they are on this list. I was surprised by the rankings of some countries but not of others.
