> Scandinavia Maybe better in some respects, but Sweden seems pretty corrupt in light of the Pirate Bay trial and Assange prosecution.

  > pretty corrupt Based on those two examples? According to this: http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2012/results/ http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2012/results/ ...4 nordic countries place in the top 7. Sweden is nr 4. The US is nr 19.

    My opinion of Sweden's government has worsened considerably thanks to those extremely blatant examples of politically-motivated injustice. A high ranking shouldn't be an excuse to sweep real problems away.

      Sweden's two most famous failures were both kowtows to the US, so aren't much relevant in a comparison against US corruption.
