That's because the US has a low amount of corruption on the positions that face the public.

It's also because most of those lists are ordered by a "perception index", that is the kind of bullshit that increases if your government does an awareness program and if corruption fighting gets on the news.

So, ironically, corruption reduction efforts can raise a country's rank on such lists.

Exactly. Not only "can", but will on almost every case. Some times I wonder if it's on purpose.
