| To find the most corrupt countries, the Daily Beast considered five factors for more than 150 countries. The corruption perception score was derived from the 2011 Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International. This measures the public perception of corruption within each nation. The degree of political rights, civil liberties and freedom of the press comes from the 2011 Freedom House Freedom of the Press Report. Lastly, the degree of transparency in business is according to the most recent data available from the World Bank. We normalized each of those five factors on a point scale out of 10, with 10 being the most corrupt. Each category was equally weighted to compute our final corruption index score out of 100.
