* Our corruption rankings are based on data produced by Transparency International in which we have full confidence, but they are still a growing organisation and there remain countries listed by us, not yet monitored by them. Where the * appears in the corruption panel in the league table, we have not included any data on this, so the relevant country (North Korea) may be advantaged or disadvantaged in comparison with their statistical neighbours. This makes no difference however to the Division in which they are located.
