Indeed. The Germans had it so institutionalised they used to be able to declare bribes as a tax deduction (not any more). Let's not even talk about the arms industry. And the previously colonised nations such as the US and Canada don't escape scott-free here, although I have to say the American governments policies are incredibly strict and difficult to circumvent (excellent) - in fact, it looks like thanks to the Guptas having used gmail for a lot of their nefarious e-mails they're now in really hot water with the FBI (rubs hands in glee). Canada is no boy scout either - my home province of Quebec has been cleaning out some ginormous rot (google the Charbonneau Commission if you want a view on insitutionalised corruption) for years now. Ugh. Greed and power, two vrotten bedfellows.
