It's like people didn't read your disclaimer before downvoting. This indeed is the stereotype we hear about Africa (and it's certainly true in the USA where the stereotype flourishes). I would love to see some of this information confirmed or repudiated.

Transparency.org has a methodology for measuring it by country.

Heat map at the top, but you can find the detailed stats too. https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_percept...

You can't just add a disclaimer to absolve yourself of what you're about to say.
