Why is corruption in some countries is more than others? I dont know the answer but it is.

If anything corruption seems more common in countries with fewer regulations, if anything (not that I have any data to back this up).
Many - not all, but perhaps most - of those who get corrupted are regulators.

So without regulations, there are fewer people to corrupt.
