I don’t know about “non-corrupt”, but we in New Zealand do a fairly good impression of it.

Not to bring computer science into this, but in any system the chance for corruption increases with both size and complexity. New Zealand, while I'm very fond of it and a great admirer of it, is pretty small and notoriously hard to immigrate to.

That’s a surprising comment.

We are one of the easiest countries in the world to immigrate to, and have an extremely immigrant-friendly culture.

The OP's comment resonates with my experience: I'm a Kiwi who's had family members immigrate, as well as talked to many friends and individuals who are trying to immigrate. It's definitely an immigrant-friendly culture (more so now than several years back), but that's not quite the same thing as "easy to immigrate to". Many of my acquaintances (from India, South Africa, and the EU) have found it very hard to find work here, extremely time-consuming and tiring to get through the visa process, and some have had to return home. I'm not saying it should be super-easy, and maybe it is easier than some other countries (I don't really know), but it's definitely not "easy" for most people I've talked with.

You can get work visas for a limited time period, but citizenship is incredibly difficult to obtain.

What about residence? I don't care much for voting rights.

You can vote with a resident visa in NZ.

You can buy citizenship and noble titles starting at £29.99, and the only business ever based there got 'nationalised' after the founders fell out with the royal family. Try again :D

Antartica.

Not the OP but this assertion is at very least a non-obvious as constructive proof requiring vast elaboration and at worst, obviously wrong on the surface with clear existential proof as mentioned by the OP [except for perhaps a idealized definition of the word "democracy" that does not resemble what you actually get on the ground when you implement it.]

> Unless the people is willingly supporting corruption, a corrupt state cannot be democratic, by construction.

There is nothing about democracy or its construction that precludes corruption. You literally just made up nonsense.

> You're just looking for a fight.

No. I believe you are projecting.

> Go for a fresh air walk outside instead.

Go read about the solomon islands. This issue is about corruption in solomon islands - a democracy. Or go crack open a book and learn about democracy and its history. Why everyone from the ancient greeks, who gave us democracy, and the founding fathers, who gave us modern democracy, all distrusted democracy.

As a matter of fact, democracies are by nature corrupt ( tyranny of the majority ) and that's why most democracies have measures to product the citizens from democracy. Rather than regurgitating nonsense you've seen on tv or the news, learn about democracies or take a moment to think about it.
