https://www.transparency.org/cpi2018The top five are Somalia, Syria, South Sudan, Yemen, and North Korea, respectively.
Seeing that Trump is so very much concerned about corruption, what is he going to do to help those countries root out their problems and prevent Americans from profiting from them??

Ukraine ranks as the worlds 60th-most corrupt nation, according to Transparency Internationals 2018 ranking. Countries considered more corrupt include Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya and Iraq all of which have received the Trump administrations approval to import U.S.-made weapons, including attack planes, armed helicopters and missiles.

Given the current financial free-for-all in politics in general and in the Trump regime specificallyI wonder what our ranking is these day.
Weve got to be climbing fast.

That place is unreal. It has less of a functioning government than any other country in Western Europe. The central government is made up of two ethnic factions that hate each other, and as a result, very little gets done, token laws are passed, and various government agencies go around fleecing the citizenry for whatever they can steal and get away with. There is a lot of ugliness beneath the architecture, the chocolate and the waffles.
