No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You're right, they've ordered it that way, but they've specified that their scale is..
So you weren't wrong about what you read.
But without that context there, being "in the top ten of a corruption ranking" would usually mean the country is very corrupt, haha
I think that these studies are very flawed, speaking as someone who lives in a 3rd world country.. I'll take a wild guess and say that the main indicator or at least one of the main indicators is the number of incidents where government officials were exposed of doing something illegal or unethical..
If that's the case they'll end up with heavily flawed diagrams due to the lack of data and reports coming from these corrupt nations
speaking from life experience now, you can't tell me that in the US for example, you can crtisize a certain party, and your punishment is going to be some accusations or a lawsuit at worse.. But here you'll be kidnapped and erased from existence ( even if you're a nobody yes, a simple Facebook post is enough )... And then tell me African countries are not that corrupt compared to a secular nation.. I'll just tell you : give me a break
Yes, the scale they used was just a bit counter-intuitive.
It wasn't a rank from most to least corrupt, it was more of a "corruption score", where higher numbers means more corrupt. But they ordered it like ranks, so #1 (least corrupt) would be first.
Oh, I read this..
And it completely threw me off, it makes sense that the most corrupt country is an african country..
I was like... no way Somalia is cleaner than Denmark.. lol
