The list.

Is North Korea really corrupt though? Sure they have a dictator, but are they corrupt for doing his evil bidding?

Isn't corruption more about bullshit going on behind the scenes?

Not a single country in the world is corruption-free, according to the survey, and some 68% of nations have what Transparency International calls a "serious problem with corruption," meaning the high-level abuse of power that benefits the few at the expense of the many is especially pronounced in more than two-thirds of countries worldwide.

As far as I am aware, "high-level abuse of power that benefits the few at the expense of the many" is the entire reason governments were invented in the first place. That's not corruption, that's working as intended.
