Where did you find all that information?

[Tooting Carmen]

What is astonishing is how you can quite easily separate corruption levels in Europe geographically: Scandinavia>NW Europe>NE Europe (except Russia)>SW Europe>SE Europe>Russia.

Where did you find all that information?

A similar list is on the transparency international website under accountability and financial statements.
Like most such internationalist/globalist organizations it would likely favor Liberal and Social Democracies.
