Corrupt Governments

There are probably many ways of going about trying to answer this question.  I would head for the Freedom House, which “rates people’s access to political rights and civil liberties in 210 countries and territories through its annual Freedom in the World report.”

At the top of the ratings (scale from 1 – 100) is Finland, scoring a perfect 100, followed by Sweden and New Zealand, both at 99.

The United States is tie for 76th, with a score of 83.  And given what’s happening here in the U.S., this figure will be taking a plunge, as Freedom House has disdain for authoritarian regimes.
