Transparency International has posted its new Corruption Perception Index. I've heard from both insiders and news articles that these rankings, while widely read and used as fodder, are more subjective than many would hope. But more data is becoming available that will eventually lead to more objective means for calculating corruption. Due to new laws in the US and abroad, many of the world's largest companies will be forced to disclose every dime "donated" to governments and their officials. Until then, however, let's enjoy these rankings, which are constructed based on surveys of experts and international business people.
Enjoy!
Oh, and you all know how I love maps.
