Transparency International
From humble beginnings TI has grown to be one of the world's most respected NGO's. TI's most well-known offering is the Global Corruption Report, which rates countries around the world on their level of corruption, based on survey data. Another fun rating is the "bribe-payer index," which rates countries on their likelihood of offering bribes. And guess which rich country tops the bribe-paying list? The U.S., of course. And you thought it was just Halliburton.
