- Corruption Score: 8
- Power Structure: Dictatorship
With three generations of corrupt leaders, North Korea is possibly the most well-known country for its corruption. The nation has been brought to this state by the ill-famous Kim Jong Sun, Kim Jong II and now Kim Jung Un. The people live in a constant state of deprivation and fear. The spending on military is many fold as compared to the public aids and services. The entire governance system and the wrongdoings are still shrouded in mystery for this one country.
