I didn’t say France, did I? I’m talking about africa, the middle east, much of asia, and parts of eastern europe. E.g.., maybe not Poland, but probably Russia.
Then you should be more specific instead of using weasel words like “much of the world”.
Asia, Middle East, and Africa are literally “much of the world.” They account for the vast majority of the world’s population.
There are a lot of ways to group countries and form a majority of the global population. You left it open to interpretation.

It’s still unclear to me why Africa, the Middle East, much (which part?) of Asia, and parts of Eastern Europe are uniquely capable of political corruption that France and Poland are not.
