The Most Corrupt Countries (Forbes)
Angola
Another of the major African oil nations, and another top member of the most corrupt list.

Paraguai
Nicanor Duarte Frutos, an ex-journalist, has taken over a nation that for four decades was in the grip of pro-Nazi leader Alfred Stroessner. After his overthrow, power remained in the hands of the corrupt, military-backed Colorado Party, which the U.S. accused of involvement in smuggling, money laundering, cocaine trafficking and supporting terrorism. Two years ago, Frutos came to power pledging an anti-corruption campaign. He's fired nine Supreme Court justices, shuttered 50 corrupt businesses and sought to halt smuggling. But the jury is still out on his chances.
