Important explanation missing : why are the USA, Germany, France not in the list ?[edit]

Of course this is work in progress, and however imperfect Transparency International's efforts must be applauded. But the author of this table MUST try to explain why these countries are missing, otherwise a lot of readers are likely to consider the whole exercise as meaningless.

Ambiguity[edit]

"The margin of error for each country is 3%. "

Is that a percent of the percent or just a change in the percent? Ie: if a country has 5% corruption, is the error range 4.85% to 5.15% or 2% to 8%? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.57.40 (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Names[edit]

Where are Russia and China, since they appear on the Bribe Payers Index?

Germany is missing too 13:17, 4 August 2015 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.192.146.49 (talk)

Yeah seriously, where's Germany? Tacky much? You do realize that most of the plebeians out there consider this to be the 'end-all' defining authority for symbolic shared reality, don't you? Get it together. Get it all together. And then put it in something. Put it in something, like a sack, or a box. I can get you a box, do you want me to get you a box?

Update?[edit]

Has this list been updated at all since 2013? If not, shouldn't it be removed from the main list of political rankings for being three years out of date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.41.245 (talk) 19:03, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Define 'Bribe'[edit]

Can we define 'bribe'? I have a hard time believing that 7% of Americans have bribed a public official in the last year. My gut reaction is to assume the study is defining 'bribe' in a way other than the Americans colloquially do. Because there's no way 7% of people have been pulled over and successfully slipped a cop $100, or that they've gone to court and found a way to give the judge $1000, or that the school gave their kid a D but they were successfully able to go pay the teacher to inflate his grade! I've never heard any hint or accusation of such happening in the US, so the study must be using a very unique definition of 'bribe.'--Mrcolj (talk) 22:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Italicize title?[edit]

Per MOS:MAJORTITLE and MOS:ITALICS, should the text "Global Corruption Barometer" in this article title and body be italicized?
