Comparative Government Questions
I believe that the two most corrupt governments are Iran and China. Iran has a Supreme Leader, which means that one man has very extensive powers, such as being commander-in-chief and can dismiss almost any other authoritative appointments and can make almost any governmental decision. Therefore, the power is not of the people. When one single person controls everything and has extensive power, it can be very dangerous to a society. China is run by a communist government, even though they claim to be a "democracy". During elections, the outcome is always clear because there is constantly one one candidate. China also implements extreme censorship and prevents its people from seeing what the government does not want them to see. Both of these countries are extremely power hungry and will do anything to gain more power: which includes oppressing their own people. In order to improve both of these governments, more power needs to be given to the people, as well as more rights and freedoms.
