[Poopoo Stinkface]

Your nation's full name (including pretitle) the Sloppy Seconds of Poopoo Stinkface
Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored? Yasss queen!

Corruption Prevalence
How many corruption-related arrests are made every year? 60 (from January 1st of this year, under the now-defunct Republic of Poop to the current date, approximately 2 weeks after independence)
How many acts of corruption are estimated to go unchecked every year? Is there an infinity sign in unicode?
Do citizens complain about corruption via social media or other channels? They used to, until the communications industry was nationalized by the current interim government. Now those that do are disappeared as a matter of course by various governmental and criminal interests.
Have you (the official participating in this survey) seen corruption in the past year? I mean, I guess so, yeah.
Did your leader come to power via transparent, trusted and legal means? Yes. Interim President Phattbottom was placed in his position by an international coalition that was withdrawing from the ruins of the Republic of Poop, and has ruled uninterrupted since.

Corruption Prevention
Are there specific laws prohibiting individuals from participating in corrupt acts? Yes; in fact, much of the nation's oversight and anti-graft/corruption laws were written up by said international coalition, but the de facto one-man dictatorship of the Interim President and the pervasive influence he wields through his secret police and his less than savory associates means that they are selectively enforced.
Are elections for national, state and local government free, fair, open and subject to inspection? They were, again, but Phattbottom used his emergency powers to invalidate their results at the national level and installed a minority government under one of his former business partners as PM (against the wishes of a majority of the Legislature.)
Are individuals standing for public office required to adhere to an oath or other agreement regarding corruption? You're a riot! You should consider a career in stand-up comedy sometime.
Is there a framework for preventing corruption in all public sectors, including health, education, police and military? It became defunct the moment the last WA boots stepped off of Turdlike soil.
Is reporting of corruption able to be done anonymously and discretely? Discreetly? Yeah. Anonymously? You sweet summer child. The Phattbottom Administration cares too much about your well-being to allow you to do that.

Corruption Monitoring and Reporting
Is there a government body in place to monitor and report incidences of corruption? Yes, but it's staffed in its entirety by the Interim President's yes-men.
If so, how much authority does this body have? Can it make arrests? Nominally, it has sweeping powers to detain, charge, and try suspects accused of corruption or breach of the public trust, but, due to the composition of its management, those powers have only been used to shunt a few particularly irritating lawmakers down into the Central Prison's basement.
Are there non-government bodies who investigate and report corruption? Yes, of course, including multiple international watchdogs, but the state very rarely sanctions their visits.
If so, are they given freedom to report on confirmed and possible cases of corruption? Think North Korea in terms of what they're shown. The answer to that would be no, and no, unless they wish to report on what Prisoners' Labor Lager Camp #152 looks like from the inside.
Are journalists and members of the public free to express their concerns regarding corruption in your nation? Yes, but as always, you do run the risk of grievous bodily harm to both you and your family if you do so particularly loudly or publicly.

Corruption Punishment
What is the maximum sentence for committing financial fraud via government means? That would be subject to the President's authority (however, as Phattbottom is technically a placeholder, he is not granted that power). Now, due to the caretaker nature of the current government, the Republic of Poop's laws are in force here, which recommends a maximum penalty of fifty years in prison with the possibility of parole after five years for the above crime.
What is the maximum sentence for committing electoral fraud? See above. The penalty can be multiplied by two for every vote cast incorrectly/in a malicious manner.
What is the maximum sentence for misleading voters in an election? Five years hard labor and immediate registration with your local police station as a felon.
What is the maximum sentence for committing a conflict of interest crime? *chuckles in oligarchy* None, if you know how to play your cards right. Nominally, you should get up to twenty-five years in the clink for especially egregious cases, and around ten for your run-of-the-mill double-dipping into tax revenues/customs duties.
Are those suspected of corruption-related crimes stood down from office while the investigation takes place? Yes, but that's only because all of the accused up to now since independence have been members of the opposition/dissidents.

Are you satisfied with this index? Yes.
Any suggestions or comments on how to improve? It seems to work well according to everybody else. Keep up the good work!

Somewhat, as it's not a really accurate model because of a lack of questions on specific acts, like nepotism and patronage.

Any suggestions or comments on how to improve?

You should be asking how the state defines corruption, and what specific issues exist. Is nepotism okay? Is a spoils/patronage system in place?
