Your nation's full name (including pretitle) [The Republic of] Federated Mandate
Your nation's (IC, non-NS) population 135 million
Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored? yes

Corruption Prevalence
How many corruption-related arrests are made every year? On average, around 200 per year
How many acts of corruption are estimated to go unchecked every year? Unsure, but roughly 10-20
Do citizens complain about corruption via social media or other channels? Sometimes. Most of the time, it is about unfair systems put into place by local administrators and bureaucrats.
Have you (the official participating in this survey) seen corruption in the past year? No.
Did your leader come to power via transparent, trusted and legal means? Our leader is not elected, but by all means was appointed in the typical manner expected by the government.

Corruption Prevention
Are there specific laws prohibiting individuals from participating in corrupt acts? Yes. Accepting personal favors are prohibited. When multiple family members apply to work at the same workplace, investigative bodies have to make sure that there is no sign of nepotism.
Are elections for national, state and local government free, fair, open and subject to inspection? No. There are no elections for public figures. However, appointments of public figures still have to take into consideration anticorruption laws when they are made.
Are individuals standing for public office required to adhere to an oath or other agreement regarding corruption? Yes, and it is specific about what that entails, involving monetary or personal benefit.
Is there a framework for preventing corruption in all public sectors, including health, education, police and military? Yes. To preserve efficiency in state-oriented workplaces, corruption is an inefficient element that should be expunged, even if it requires more work to do so.
Is reporting of corruption able to be done anonymously and discretely? For the most part, yes. We actually have universal management software that can be used to submit reports of corruption digitally.

Corruption Monitoring and Reporting
Is there a government body in place to monitor and report incidences of corruption? Yes.
If so, how much authority does this body have? Can it make arrests? Yes, and it can give out warrants the Federal Security Service for arrests.
Are there non-government bodies who investigate and report corruption? No.
If so, are they given freedom to report on confirmed and possible cases of corruption? N/A
Are journalists and members of the public free to express their concerns regarding corruption in your nation? Technically yes, although the government does not take anything into consideration from non-government entities unless evidence is provided by our own internal anti-corruption investigation.

Corruption Punishment
What is the maximum sentence for committing financial fraud via government means? 30 years, which can become a reduced sentence if the corrupt official gets their certification and degree revoked. Since all public officials are of the intelligentsia, one can only find employment as a public official with the proper education. By having their degree revoked, they are effectively banned from seeking public office again.
What is the maximum sentence for committing electoral fraud? Elections don't happen. However, if someone commits fraud to have their application "moved up" for a public official position, or pay off the interview committee (which has happened before), the same sentence from above applies here as well.
What is the maximum sentence for misleading voters in an election? N/A
What is the maximum sentence for committing a conflict of interest crime? 10 years, which can also become a reduced sentence in the same way as above.
Are those suspected of corruption-related crimes stood down from office while the investigation takes place? Yes.

END
Are you satisfied with this index? Yes.
Any suggestions or comments on how to improve? No.

[Rybzierzyn]

Your nation's full name (including pretitle): The Federal Republic of Rybzierzyn
Your nation's (IC, non-NS) population: 5.08 millions
Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored?: Yes, thank you very much.

DISCLAIMER: Many of these answers are based on what I want my nation to be, instead of what it is by NationStates data (for the most part).

Corruption Prevalence
How many corruption-related arrests are made every year?:
How many acts of corruption are estimated to go unchecked every year?:
Do citizens complain about corruption via social media or other channels?: As the citizens enjoy great political freedoms, they tend to denounce corruption.
Have you (the official participating in this survey) seen corruption in the past year?: Yes, but in low amounts. Given that there are worker councils in many communities that elect proletarian leaders, and normally they have connection with their voters, corruption is normally low. There can be ways to exploit for your own benefit with the socialist public economy, but these are cases that normally don't get past the regional scales (unless the representative isn't elected by the councils, instead by a more Western type of democracy).
Did your leader come to power via transparent, trusted and legal means?: Based on many international organizations, yes.

Corruption Prevention
Are there specific laws prohibiting individuals from participating in corrupt acts?: Representatives are required to be proletarians to be elected in many councils. The ones that didn't do this yet (which are few) still have the requirement for the candidates to be aligned with a labor union and be checked for their whereabouts. Endorsements exist, and lobbying can happen in the non-council elections, but these tend to be few cases.
Are elections for national, state and local government free, fair, open and subject to inspection?: Yes. The bureaucrats tend to check the elections, and many international organisms have confirmed they are.
Are individuals standing for public office required to adhere to an oath or other agreement regarding corruption?: They oath normally in formal speech to "not do anything for anyone but the people", but this isn't a great barrier.
Is there a framework for preventing corruption in all public sectors, including health, education, police and military?:

• Health tends to be highly regulated, with broad possibility to denounce a professional if you think he has done harm to you for his own benefit. Inspections and checks are common.
• Education is also broadly regulated in matters of corruption.
• Police is more complicated, because the officials aren't that regulated and denouncing is not as easy, and checks are less common.
• Military is another subject. As it's held in high esteem and privilege from the rebellions, the denouncing is a more of a matter of medium and high-ranking government officials.

Is reporting of corruption able to be done anonymously and discretely?: Yes.

Corruption Monitoring and Reporting
Is there a government body in place to monitor and report incidences of corruption?: No, but the bureaucracy tends to cover these matters.
If so, how much authority does this body have? Can it make arrests?: The bureaucrats may get an order to investigate a possibly corrupt politician, and if they have proofs, they can make arrests.
Are there non-government bodies who investigate and report corruption?: Both national and international organizations do investigations, but these are regulated by the government and have to give reports to the government.
Are journalists and members of the public free to express their concerns regarding corruption in your nation?: Yes, they can.

Corruption Punishment
What is the maximum sentence for committing financial fraud via government means:? 12 years of prison.
What is the maximum sentence for committing electoral fraud?: 10 years of prison for national elections.
What is the maximum sentence for misleading voters in an election?: 1 year of prison for national elections.
What is the maximum sentence for committing a conflict of interest crime?:
Are those suspected of corruption-related crimes stood down from office while the investigation takes place?: The investigations tend to be secret, so no.

The Great Kingdom of Merulla
Your nation's (IC, non-NS) population
217.713.175
Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored?
Yes, please.


Corruption Prevalence
How many corruption-related arrests are made every year?
An average of 150 people are arrested per year for corruption crimes.
How many acts of corruption are estimated to go unchecked every year?
Independent bodies claim that there are no more than 100 per year.
Do citizens complain about corruption via social media or other channels?
Usually as unfounded criticism of politicians they don't like, but nothing too serious.
Have you (the official participating in this survey) seen corruption in the past year?
Last year there were some cases publicly reported, but all were tried and the culprits arrested. As well as other cases that were not exposed to the public and were still judged.
Did your leader come to power via transparent, trusted and legal means?
Completely. The elections for Prime Minister in Merulla are direct and totally democratic and the two main parties are well-known examples of suitability and integrity, these are precisely the two parties that are known for having fewer cases of corruption.


Corruption Prevention
Are there specific laws prohibiting individuals from participating in corrupt acts?
There are no very specific laws, there are only common laws that determine the practice of corruption. Laws that prohibit and curb corrupt practices with strong penalties, seeking to set an example.
Are elections for national, state and local government free, fair, open and subject to inspection?
Yes, completely. Also, national, state and municipal elections take place in different years (each of the modalities), to avoid political collusion and let the voter decide by better evaluating the political scenario.
Are individuals standing for public office required to adhere to an oath or other agreement regarding corruption?
Yes, obviously. Even a politician who is convicted of corruption is banned from political life, never being able to run for office again.
Is there a framework for preventing corruption in all public sectors, including health, education, police and military?
The basic laws that seek to prohibit corruption have heavy punishments to discourage the practice, such as many years in prison, very high fines and the aforementioned ban from political life. Furthermore, every public body in Merulla has its own internal affairs department to investigate, investigate, punish and report any cases of corruption to the Justice.
Is reporting of corruption able to be done anonymously and discretely?
Yes, like any and all reports of crime in Merulla.


Corruption Monitoring and Reporting
Is there a government body in place to monitor and report incidences of corruption?
Yes! We have the FITA (Federal Inspection and
Transparency Agency) which is a federal agency that reports to the Ministry of Justice and Internal Security and serves precisely to investigate cases of corruption in all possible areas, public or private.
If so, how much authority does this body have? Can it make arrests?
FITA does not have the autonomy to carry out arrests on its own. But it has complete autonomy and independence to investigate and report, sending evidence and conclusions directly to the Ministry of Justice and Homeland Security, suggesting plea bargains or arrests as necessary. The Ministry of Justice and Internal Security usually follows the FITA decision and orders the arrests that are carried out by the RBI (Royal Bureau of Investigation), the Merullean federal police.
Are there non-government bodies who investigate and report corruption?
Yes, there are several independent investigation and anti-corruption groups. Everyone can, and is encouraged, to submit their reports and evidence to FITA.
If so, are they given freedom to report on confirmed and possible cases of corruption?
Of course, FITA even tends to reward financially when these groups find concrete evidence and report it directly to them.
Are journalists and members of the public free to express their concerns regarding corruption in your nation?
Of course, this is something quite common in Merulla.


Corruption Punishment
What is the maximum sentence for committing financial fraud via government means?
50 years in jail.
What is the maximum sentence for committing electoral fraud?
Also 50 years.
What is the maximum sentence for misleading voters in an election?
It varies greatly depending on the level of severity of the mislead. But if a more serious effect is proven, it could face up to 35 years.
What is the maximum sentence for committing a conflict of interest crime?
Up to 35 years as well.
Are those suspected of corruption-related crimes stood down from office while the investigation takes place?
This will depend on the level of evidence. At Merulla we believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so it will depend on the amount of evidence and how definitive it is.
