It's a corrupt country but its economy is big enough that it can shoulder a parasite or a dozen. Developing countries and eastern Europe does not have this luxury.

Hmm, that's plausible. I'd still like to see someone try to measure that though. Interesting thought.

I'm not sure Germany isn't experiencing negative effects from this though. Like the Gazprom thing, for example, this broadband thing, maybe even the nuclear thing?

If Germany is a "corrupt country", than what‘s the rest of Europe?: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/koyyv5/european_pub...

You're begging the question. My original point is that it's very surprising that Germany gets these ratings despite them being openly corrupt.
