According to the 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released on Wednesday by the Berlin-based NGO Transparency International (TI), the three least corrupt countries in the world are Finland, Denmark, and New Zealand. On a scale of zero to ten, Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand are all rated at 9.4.
At the other end of the scale are Myanmar and Somalia with a score of 1.4. At the same time, Russia was rated at 2.3, meaning that the border between Finland and Russia is arguably the world's most abrupt in terms of bribery and corruption.
Transparency International notes that corruption in Finland's eastern neighbour "runs rampant". The CPI indicates that in terms of corruption the rift between Finland and Russia is apparently more insurmountable than the one between the United States and Mexico.
