PARIS, Nov. 6 — Iraq is one of the world’s most corruption-ridden countries, according to a survey of 163 nations released Monday.
The survey, the Corruption Perceptions Index, was conducted by Transparency International in Berlin. The rankings were done by business people and country experts.
The United States ranked below 19 other countries, including Finland, Iceland and New Zealand, which tied as the least corrupt nations.
Only Haiti ranked lower than Iraq in the survey, which considered how much bribery, kickbacks and embezzlement occurred in countries studied. Iraq tied with Guinea and Myanmar for their corruption level.
 
Is there a listing for the most corrupt state governments in the U.S.?

If I were a betting man I'd put Louisiana up there somewhere.
