World Corruption Index 2009
An interesting flash application, hosted by Transparency International (their tagline: "The global coalition against corruption").
I was happy to see that Canada is rated* 8.7, the same as Australia, and only slightly lower than the big winners New Zealand(9.4), Denmark(9.3), Sweden (9.2), Switzerland (9.0) and Finland (8.9).
*These ratings are based on "perceptions of corruption", since the concept of corruption is a hard concept to universally qualify.

what does grey mean?
Well, yak sox, I must presume that grey means no data exists for that country.
In North Korea, for example, citizens would never admit to preceiving corruption, and people outside N. Korea would not have enough interaction with North Koreans to gain any preception of how far spread North Korean corruption is.
At least, that is how I would interpret 'grey'.
Perceive.
But there's also Greenland.
'Preceive' is the Canadian spelling.
As to Greenland, I am not sure. Perhaps all potentially corrupt officials reside in Denmark, meaning that the Danish rating would apply.
It is very interesting to see what you think... maped out.
Lightfoot Letters, I am not sure I am picking up what you are laying down...
