Most Corrupt Countries In the World
North Korea's population as of February 18th, 2017 is 25,360,273.
North Korea is the third most corrupt country in the world, according to the CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index). It is also ranked 150th out of 163 nations in the Institution for Economics & Peace's Global Peace Index, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. ...read more.
They kill anyone who says anything to there dictator Kim Jong Un. You don't get killed for making fun of Barrack Obama people do it all the time. All of North Korea is starving, Kim Jong Un ate all there food. North Korea is the ones who are corrupt. America only gets involved in other countries business because there's stuff that should never ever happen there. Then people who are from other countries trash the USA because of stereotypes and say it's because were greedy. Meanwhile Kim Jong Un is killing people because a paper with his picture on it is being used as wrapping paper. So, tell me who is corrupt now? America number 1 on the best countries to live list and number 1 most corrupt. #Logic
They execute any person who dislikes our says something rude to the leader of the country (or total dictator of the country) and there are basically no rights. Christianity is basically banned, and worshippers have begun to do it privately. They threaten to nuke other countries, ban Internet, and don't get me started about the propaganda. They make them believe crazy things like " Kim Il-Sung is a the eternal leader of North Korea and is a god" or "Kim Jong-Il controls the weather and created the hamburger". Kim Jong- Un is basically deranged, as he killed his uncle. While millions of people starve all across the country, the government imports Coke. Instead of using their money to feed the starving population, they just increase military strength and just end up in more debt. For example, the government tried to build a building called " the Ryugyong Hotel, a hotel that is over 1,000 feet tall in 1987. They still haven't opened it. This country is crazy and sick.
I can't believe that Ameroca was voted more corrupt then North Korea... Yes we have flaws. Many flaws. Yes, we are trillions of dollars in debt, we never solve any problems, and yes, we are mostly fat, uneducated, gun-enthusiasts. But: do we worship our leader as if he was a god? No. Do we believe that we are the center of the universe? No. And most important of all: are we all brainwashed minions of a fat, psychotic warmonger? NO. come on guys. Be real. We (Americans) may be very very flawed, but admit it: We have it so much better then North Korea.
More like 'No' Korea. They will execute any person that says "y'know what, Kim kinda sucks." They can't afford to feed their country because they are already putting most of their budget into their already powerful military, women are treated like animals, and if you leave the country to escape the madness, they would likely send you back and say "You can't escape your God." You think the United States is bad? Americans are lucky to have a roof over them, a warm bed to sleep in, a school to go to, food to eat, while in North Korea it's hell: the country.
I hate the USA. I hate all the crime they have, all the hatred towards other countries. I hate their ignorance towards other countries and their overall ignorance. They have a terrible Educational system. Too many black problems (serves them right for having enslaved all of those people from Africa). They are the most gun crazed people in the world. They have so much poverty, so many street people, so many gangs. The drug trade depends on Americans usage. They think Canadians still live in igloos. So uneducated) They have the most corrupt medical system in the world. Doctors are in it strictly for the money. They have the most demoralizing food stamp system in the world. When I was a child I thought everyone lived in big homes and had a pool, that is what they wanted everyone outside of USA to believe. Their Government thinks more about pouring money into war than taking care of its own people. They would like to run the whole world. They forget one think... History shows that great ...more
The United States has some serious problems. The economy goes up and down every few years and is totally unpredictable and totally unregulated. It is very hard to get a job there compared to places like Europe, and the fact that American collages are some of the most expensive in the world isn't exactly helping. There is also a much higher percentage of poverty in the US compared to other developed countries and homelessness and crime are epidemics in every city. Americans seem to cling to mindless patriotism and religious fanaticism to keep the national identity, which according to some morons is being "threatened" by Mexican immigration, in tact. Politicians use god and the bible as an excuse to do everything from defend so called "marriage equality" to try and force religion into our secular public school systems. Nationalists try to cram historical lies into children's brains and cover up everything bad the country has done. It is actually kind of scary.
The US shouldn't be in the top 10. People, just because the American public is uneducated and arrogant, and the government is full of bureaucrats doesn't mean we're the worst in the world. There are plenty of countries in the world where you can't wear certain clothes or go certain places, marry certain people, say certain things, worship certain people, or stand for what you believe in because if you don't do what the government says you can get killed on the spot. Our government isn't oppressive to our people in that way. We have freedoms. While we do have our flaws, people need to stop hating America so much.
These people have no idea what they're talking about. America may have some internal problems, but that's bound for a nation so powerful. Just historically this can be proven (Rome, UK, Mongolia). We also give more than any other country. I hate how people say we are ruining other countries. Those idiots would blow each other up without a moderator. China may be able to solve some math problems, but they can't get it together. And ya, America messed up at times, but they got even better from it. Only a small portion of America wanted slavery, but the south would threaten to leave when told to give up slavery. We are run by the people, not some dictator. These conspiracy losers try to argue with doctored evidence. People disagree with america's rights for abortion or same sex marriage, but if we didn't allow it, I bet that all of you would be complaining that we are so segregated still and the the the. People also take their ideas of American intelligence from unreliable sources. ...more
I just voted this to say something. Pakistan may be corrupt, but its not as stupid as people call it. It's a beautiful country, just as good as usa (but maybe not financially. ) its just a myth that everybody is a terrorist there. My neighbors are Pakistani and they are the nicest people ever!
Pakistan isn't such a bad country. But They are a bit corrupt. It's just some people think that people should follow their rules. I'm not Pakistani but I'm Indian and I've met a lot of wonderful people from Pakistan and one is my best friend. In every country they're people who are good and who are bad.
Look, those that have said Pakistan is corrupt is actually correct. I myself am a Pakistani and the government since 1990s have been corrupt. This includes the Muslim League led by Nawaz Sharif anc the PPP led by Zardari. They have used money for their own selfish reasons and have ruined Pakistan. Since Nawaz Sharif has been expelled I hope Pakistan gets rid of this corrupt regime.
I'm saying this the nicest way I can', considering I think every country has potential and different things to offer the world, but even though every country has it's flaws.. they don't have nearly as many as Pakistan.
For all you Libertarians in the United States, this country is the closest thing to an actual Libertarian government. When you see the anarchy that unfortunately is Somalia, it's the best advertisement against Libertarianism I know of. I'll even agree that Libertarianism sounds great on paper---but the actual practice of it leaves a lot to be desired.
Somalia is the most useless country the world (on par with Sudan and Eritrea). They export criminals worldwide, who sponge off Western Government welfare, while breeding 5-10 little criminal children and at the same time turn any 1st world country into a 3rd world ghetto.
Are you sure that the United States (the world's super power with one of the highest standards of living on the planet) is more corrupt than a failed state with a famine?
How is The USA, China, And Russia more corrupt than a conflict-filled small country with a GIANT famine?
Its corrupt because usa is giving millions of dollars to its people but they use it for army... While they don't have soldiers!
It's very dangerous this country. Mines are all over the place.
India is so corrupt. Anyone who voted USA has no idea what they are talking about because the USA is one of the least corrupt governments and has an excellent democratic system that serves the people. I'm Indian, so I can tell you about India. In India, politicians steal money from the people, hide the money, and evade taxes by pretending their income is lower than it is. Also, many politicians will bribe people to win elections, yet don't do anything to fix problems. The government does not serve the people and bribery is common. Right now, India is definitely the most corrupt country in the world. One day however, we will become a country with low corruption. I feel like for the first time, our government is finally doing the right thing and taking steps to make a better country.
India was ruled and it's wealth was looted by the British in the past. But, a Foreign lady is ruling the country and looting the country exponentially more than the British.
Indian politicians are imbeciles, they don't have any educational background and are more corrupt making India a poor country. But, Indians are not poor.
Indians have the highest amount of Black Money stashed in Swiss Bank alone than any other nations.
They claim that they have unity in diversity. But they killed many Muslims in the Kashmir region. Also, they are directly responsible for the Srilankan mass killings of Tamils in Srilanka, It is India which provided Military support to Srilanka.
The ONLY REASON India is at the top, or near the top, of all the good country lists is because there are so many Indians on this website. I get that its OK to be proud of your country, but accept that its not perfect. I live in the United States and it is far from perfect. India is a third world country taking on a first world role in world affairs. Overpopulation is causing starvation, famine, unavailability of water and supplies. The politicians are corrupt, stupid and out of touch with the country's problems. There is no minimum wage and the majority of people are lucky to make enough to feed themselves one meal a day, let alone their 10 children (lack of contraceptives). There is no healthcare to speak of. Most people live in third world poverty that is, in some arias, worse than in most African countries. India is the most racist country in the world, racist towards their own countrymen and people from all other countries. They sentence Transgenders to life in prison. They have ...more
Too much bureaucratic red tape and dumb regulations that hurt poor and middle class people. Red tape does not affect rich because government will let the rich do what they want. Most corrupt country ever and its sad to see that our India has fallen so low. Modiji and the BJP is the only beacon of hope in India. Our economic growth is good now. We can rise again.
A true story of Russian Corruption:
In Russia, like other places in the world, a Double Yellow Stripe in the middle of the road means 'No Passing'. A Dotted Yellow Stripe means that you can pass. However, sometimes the Russian Police will put up a sign stating 'NO PASSING'. Outside St. Petersburg there was a road that was being built, and the Police told the contractors to paint a dotted yellow stripe down the middle. They complied. After the road was opened, the Russian Police hid a NO PASSING sign behind a bush. The contractor found the sign, and decided to to the Locals a 'favor' by repainting the road with a Double Yellow Stripe. Well, when the Police found out about this, they went out in the middle of the night with Black Spray Paint and made the stripe look dotted. And they didn't stop there. They hired a farmer with a tractor to drive up and down the road, to encourage motorists to try to pass, and when they did, the Police would nab them. They paid the farmer a bottle ...more
At this point in history the word "Russia" and the word "Democracy" are pretty much antanyms. It is actually really hard to imagine a democratic Russia. It's like trying to imagine a frozen Mexico or a war hungry Switzerland. The Russian people cannot grasp the thought of Democracy after living under tyranny for so many thousands of years. Imagine someone who has lived underground all of their life attempting to comprehend the sun or the sky. Something in Russian culture, ideology, national identity, whatever is just so hostile to the concepts of democracy and liberalism that the two cannot possibly exist together.
Putin isn't exactly helping either. I sware I wouldn't be surprised if that phsyco tried to take over Alaska or something.
Before you 9 year old rob lox fanboys start talking crap about Russia and attacking the people, well I get that it's government is corrupt, but that doesn't mean you can attack the whole country and point fingers at one. All countries have flaws. Just because the government is bad doesn't make the locals bad.
Since there is no Soviet Union, this country really started to be corrrupt. Soviet Union was a country with one of highest living levels, rouble had almost same price, as dollar.
What's now?
News reported: in Russia, governement don't paid to pepole, that was building subway a half year...
Iran is the worst country. They worship fires. Farsi sounds like urine and excrement.
Seriously? Why is Iran corrupt? Dude, it's one of the richest Middle Eastern nations. R U serious. I am so surprised, you jerks. Do you have something against Iran? This is fake information. DELETE Iran!
Oh god curse them for taking American hostages!
Why is there even a such racist list like this?
This country isn't really corrupt by itself, isis is what made it bad to live in.
Its corrupt country
Incest is absolutely rampant in this country.
I saw a documentary film about this one called "The Ambassador". I'm not going to say I'm an expert on the country but I feel pretty safe in claiming that it is incredibly corrupt and poorly functioning.
Indeed Syria is the most corrupt country reason because of terrorist.
Saudi Arabia mixes religion with government, causing many issues. Every law is based on the Quran. This means women don't have as much rights, and other religions aren't allowed
Saudi Arabia is just disgusting. no rights for women, on top of that they are treated like pigs. cutting off a head piblicaly as a death penalty definitely makes viorent people like ISIS. plus the king of saudi is ugly
Despite being one of the least corrupt countries (behind Israel) in the Middle East, they have the WORST human rights. (And yes, even worse than China and Russia.)
Dear lovely commentor who posted this friendly statement: "Have you ever seen a Chinese person when questioned about anything, even insignificant non- sense be able to tell the truth. They are lying little picture taking, back stabbing, stealing pricks! "
I'd like to tell you to stop generalizing a whole group of people. Yes, we tell the truth. And yes, unlike you, most of us refrain from making uneducated racist comments that have no truth or background whatsoever. I bet that you'd feel incredibly hurt if someone ruthlessly criticized your country's people. I get that some Chinese and the government are corrupt and rude, but there's no excuse to attack a whole country! Besides, we're only nice to you if you're nice to us.
P.S. Picturing taking... so offensive, huh? -_- It's pretty fun - you should try it some time!
The corruption within China is beyind tolerable, every single Communist Party of Chian officials are so bloody corrupted.
June 4th incident. enough said. Check China Uncensored. please no 50 cents brigade. Pray for freedom in Hong Kong.
Communists... I can't... believe america is number 2 when this guy killed innocent children
How can china, russia and america be more corrupt than this country?
Uzbekistan has steel rules! But Human rights are more special in that country! So Uzbekistan is Perfect! Because I have been there for more than hundred times! I Love Uzbekistan!
Uzbekistan has nearly NO crimes!
Oh god, this country should not even be allowed to exist. It is considered by many experts the third worst country to live in on the planet, beat only be North Korea and Somalia. The government is ostensibly democratic, but in truth it is an imperial presidency. The same "president" has been lording over the place since the end of the cold war. 99% of the country is desert. It is landlocked, dirt poor and scorchingly hot. Most people live in tiny huts with no electricity, running water or furniture. Some have dirt floors and nowhere to go the bathroom but a hole in the ground. Criticism of the government is met with unpayable fines and years upon years in jail, if not execution. The internet is censored throughout Turkmenistan and there are only 7 television channels available in the country, all of which are propaganda. Ethnic minorities are persecuted and treated little better than slaves. It is just a horrible place to live, one of the absolute worst countries to be born into. What ...more
They had thr same president after the cold war because that's when thr country was born because before that it was in the soviet union. Well same president for more than 20 years is corrupt.
Undergoing a civil war at the moment, of course they are corrupt.
You cannot be too hard on South Sudan. They got independence 10 years ago. So they are still trying to make progress on being a powerful country.
I lived in Thailand for two months. This country is extremely corrupt. The Mafia controls everything in some sectors, you can be killed by scammers, and the your own country won't even blink an eye at what these people have done. This country get too much respect. The main thing if any country is a third world country they are very, very, very corrupt to the core. Look at the other S.E.A. countries that are underdeveloped and you will see a common theme. This is not Singapore, Japan, or South Korea...hhhmmm
South Korea is not corrupt. your just made that they copy people
They don't have a corrupt government, there people do not starve and they have really good technology. so don't you Yahoos say something negative because of the what people live
. you need to learn your history.
Us South Korean swear that we have better manners than you people who blame on this country with some stupid reasons.
They always bluff. Nothing truth
In this country.
Laugh out loud the spelliing and grammar that these guys have..
