When I made the post, I was thinking of that German dictator before WWI, he was highly popular amongst the Germans, and Germany was highly prosperous at that time.

How the hell can a graph represent corruption? Afterall, most of it is done behind closed doors. You know, that lobbying "industry" which is worth $1.5bn a year in the states (a whole load of it comes from British firms aswell, which is funny).

Who Fredrick 3?

He wasn't even ruler for a year.

The guy before him was actually quite unpopular with the people wanting a liberal democracy.

As for the corruption index... a not for profit group in germany measures it.

Also compared to dictators who hoard all the wealth....
