I have done business in several countries in the world, both western nations and third world countries. The largest difference is the cost for corruption, not the fact that it's there or not. Also note that the western world have a social corruption which is very hard to root out. With the wrong name, color, sexual orientation etc you won't get anywhere in the west.
