** Behold the [http://www.infoplease.com/toptens/leastcorruptcountries.html Top ten un-corrupted contries in the world.] Don't even bother here.
*** Technically corruption is not only bribery but any abuse of power (for example nepotism). Sure - to have low ranking the countries have to have low rate of bribery but technically there may be country which have less problems with briberies than those top ten.
** A subversion worth mentioning occured in Turkey a few years ago, where a young police officer refused a bribe - uncharactheristic enough, as the Turkish Police Force is notoriously corrupt. The people who offered the bribe then [[Crapsack World|simply beat him up till he was hospitalised]].
* In prison camps, bribery is sometimes used to suborn the opposite side's troops.
