But we add a touch of class to our corruption. How many Nigerian officials use public funds to buy duck houses?

As has already been stated you can't buy it. You could however buy control of some photos of admin which would allow you a certain (shall we say) influence over the final winner..

Business to business and specifically the public sector interface to business is riddled with corruption. In business development funding from government agencies you can't really miss it. I have multiple examples of it going on there.

Generally of you don't exist in that arena you don't come across corruption.

Most people are probably thinking of UK Defence companies and the Royal Family.

If we shot a few well known public figures our ranking would rise at least 5 places.
