I am surprised the U.S & U.K are not first. But oh well. Wouldn't NK be on top though?

They're model societies, in my opinion at least.

Probably has something to do with that whole warrior/honor thing they had going hundreds of years ago.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

There were plenty of countries that had warriors that were either as, or more honorable, than the Norse...

OT - I'm suprised the US & UK are so high up the list TBH.

Australia ranked at #7 on a survey based on perceptions eh?

Clearly they were not asking people's perspective of NSW ALP. /me runs

Remember Elk

Bet Sweden didn't get to share first with the other three because we got the thrice damned Swedish Democrats now... Some of their more radical ideas would make Sweden into a hybrid of the US at the moment and Germany the years before the second world war.

well I think some of the european and north american countries were quite lenient scoring themselves. This poll is therefore corrupt.

That is a LOT of red. Go USA. If you think it's corrupt you're a rebellious teenager psuedo intellectual.

The 3 stooges would've made anyone's perspective change.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

I'm just glad the US has inched up since last year (was at 24 in 2011, for those of you who didn't know). But I'm surprised that Ireland fell to 25 (it was 19 in '11).

He's being sarcastic. The rest of his post mentions that NK should be at the top of the list.

LOL, I can't believe people still reference that.

Corruption Index relies heavily on public perception of whether or not their country is corrupt. It is essentially a survey of each country's people.

If you can draw anything from it, it shows Scandanavian countries have sticks up their asses and willfully trust their government, more than Americans who are notoriously suspicious of government.

You can't measure corruption.

Canada, aww yeah!

But seriously, how the -blam!- do they judge that?
