Summary
For purposes of discussion I graphed the w:Corruption Perceptions Index on the Y axis, versus the ratio of the w:List of countries by GDP (PPP) / w:List of countries by GDP (nominal) (normalized to 1 for the U.S.) on the X axis. So the countries where in theory you could buy the most for a dollar are at right; the countries that are most honest are at top. Surprisingly, there appears to be a sharp upper boundary to how honest a nation can be. The one point lying some distance into the forbidden area (PPP/USD=3.3, CPI=6.0) is w:Bhutan - perhaps an exception that proves the rule.
