The largest "most developed" are the same there's just more ways to hide it
But it hurts more developed countries.
I’m from Gabon, in Central Africa we’ve lived with corruption for years. I’ve personally lost many scholarships to others because of it. But let’s not pretend it’s only a “developing country” problem in developed countries, corruption still thrives, just hidden behind complex laws, lobbying, and corporate influence.
Corruption is a symptom of a government that is too big and has too much power.
This is why government needs to be small enough such that you need minimal interaction with it to do things like start a business, make minor property improvements, etc.
Otherwise when these laws are imposed *especially* in developing countries, the bureaucrats become empowered with literal life-and-death decisions over people's lives.
I expect it in developing countries.
At least it's kind of out in the open & it kinda works.
Corruption in developed countries is disgusting. You use your fiscal dominance to enslave billions & yet you can't afford to pay your public servants a decent wage? GTFOH
Came to say this, the only difference is the level of obfuscation and marketing budget. The same racket occurs in “developed” countries where the “cost of civilized society” is literally debt slavery enforced by violence.
Is this everywhere though? Is there actually anywhere anyone could point to and say there’s no corruption there? Or is it an inevitability as society scales? Who’s right; Rousseau, Hobbes?
The fiat system is based on corruption. It infects every country regardless of its status.
Corruption in developing countries is like a virus that poisons and destroys everything.
Corruption is disgusting.

“Developed” countries aren’t any better. They are just better at it.
