≥90: Denmark, Finland, New Zealand.
≥85: Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland, Australia, Norway.
≥80: Canada, Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg.
≥75: Germany, Hong Kong, Barbados, Belgium.
≥70: Japan, UK, USA, Chile, Uruguay, Bahamas, France, St. Lucia.
≥65: Austria, Ireland, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, Botswana, Spain.
≥60: Estonia, Bhutan, Portugal, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent / Grenadines, Slovenia, Taiwan, Cape Verde, Israel.
≥55: Dominica, Poland, Malta, Mauritius, S. Korea, Brunei, Hungary.
≥50: Costa Rica, Lithuania, Rwanda, Georgia, Seychelles, Bahrain.

If your country wasn't one of the 53 best, or if you're curious, the whole thing can be found here (link).

Anyone surprised by their own country, or do these rankings match your experiences?

IWYW,

I have lived in five different countries in the last 25 years and in ALL the countries the politicians have been unremittingly poisonous snakes and my suspicion was, a lot of their dishonesty and corrupt dealings remain hidden because of a tame and friendly media. Certainly, as we have seen in Britain over the last few years, every time a corner of the carpet is lifted up, cockroaches are scurrying and trying to hide from the light. I've been saying for 25 years, the British establishment and political class are rotten to the core, scandals over the last few years have proved it. That doesn't make Britain more corrupt than other countries, I've lived in a couple of countries in the top ten and my perception was they were no better than Britain.

One thing I noticed is that it isn't a red state/blue state thing. Bad ones, good ones and average ones are pretty much evenly distributed.

Well I can't speak for the rest of the country, but my guess is Detroit weighs heavily in Michigans score.
