These are the most corrupt countries in the Western world

Transparency International has published the latest edition of its Corruption Perceptions Index, a global ranking of fairness across the world.

Countries are given a score out of 100, with low-scoring countries the most corrupt.

The data was produced produced from analyses from businesspeople, journalists, and civic organisations. High levels of corruption are also linked to governmental control over social media and information, attacks on press freedom, and a weak rule of law.

Countries like Syria, Yemen and North Korea dominate the most corrupt end of the scale - but Business Insider has produced a list of low-scoring western nations, which are usually assumed to have higher standards. Scroll down to see what they are.
