#138 - Mexico
Belize isn't on the list, but it would be up there.
Never had any issues in either place. In terms of travel, both of those places have been very warm and welcoming. That being said, the least hospitable place I have felt traveling was Hawaii, and the only place I have been a victim of a crime while traveling was Los Angeles.

I guess for most of you it will be Kenya, as a lot of you come from there or go there to train and dope. Kenya is rated even more corrupt than Russia, which begs the question again why Russia has been banned and not Kenya.

I have been to Syria (179/180) and Sudan (175/180)
The United States in 2019.
I've always found Mexico tourist areas warm and welcoming, but definitely cautious there. Wouldn't want to have property or try to run a business though. I was in the Amazon basin in Ecuador and technically Columbia. That area has a reputation for various illicit operations, but the local guides were very protective and seemed to know what was going on up and down river. A Belize cab driver tried to rip us off. He quoted one price from the ferry terminal to the airport and when we got in, he locked the doors and then said it was that price per person so times three. When we got to the airport I told him that I couldn't find my wallet and needed to get out and dig through my luggage. I then handed him the original price and we ran.
I’ve been to Yemen by accident. I was in Oman for work and we accidentally crossed the border. Later found out that the road we on was ranked as the seventh most dangerous in the world.
North Korea--- if you count being in a tunnel that went under the DMZ as visiting.

California. By a landslide.
I've tried to stay out of corrupt countries, and I've only been in North America and Europe (about a dozen countries), so about the worst I can say was Hungary, which wasn't bad at all. No foreign country I visited was as corrupt as Palm Beach County, Florida.

You should move to Japan. Sounds like a better fit for you.

You guessed right
Saint vincent and the grenadines and also grenada should be further on the "corrupt" direction than they are. I feel like they're given a bit of a pass because they're small, so the corruption isn't as high dollar.
