Back in July, I blogged about the Freedom House list of The Least Free Places on Earth. Not to be outdone, Transparency International has now released their annual Corruption Perceptions Index, which “measures the perceived level of public-sector corruption in 180 countries and territories around the world”.
Since Somalia was ranked as fifth on the Least Free Places list, and dead last on the Corruption Index, ScotticusFinch is prepared to annouce the 2009 winner of the “Place in Which Even a Superhero Should Hope to Never Accidentally Wake Up Award”...
Okay, it’s Detroit for the fourth straight year. But Somalia is a close second.
Unsurprisingly, Transparency International ranked New Zealand as the least-corrupt nation on earth. This is due mostly to the well-documented nigh-incorruptable nature of Hobbits.
