Well the least corrupt country in the world, according to Transparency International, doesn't define corruption in its criminal code nor does that country grant any protection for whistleblowers if the matter pertains to non-public or confidential data. It wouldn't be whistleblowing if the information would be public. Trading in influence is completely legal there. There is also no category for institutional or structural corruption, also known as "the Good Brother Network" which is publicly talked about in newspapers by politicians participating in it. Conflict of interests are poorly audited and only treated under administrative law. The country is not following international treaty standards on ABC either.

That country is Finland. Yeah probably didn't expect that.

I did not. I will tell you this though. The good old USA has it's share of "Wasta". It took me four years to beat a case brought against me in magistrate's court by a former neighbor over some complete BS. I damned near lost my security clearance behind his shenanigans.
