Celebrate! We are not yet the most corrupt country!

OMMAG (One More Middle Age Guy) links to an article in Business Insider. BI in turn links to Transparency International's 2013 Corruptions Perceptions Index. There are several interesting graphs. The most corrupt countries are no surprise: North Korea, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Syria, Yemen, and Haiti.

The least corrupt are New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway.

Where does the United States stand? Number 19, below Japan, Belgium and Hong Kong, but above Uruguay, Ireland, and Bahamas.
