It's the same generally with corruption. Societies in tropics are more corrupted than in temperate countries.

AI explains:

Studies, including data from Transparency International and academic research, generally show a correlation where countries closer to the equator (tropical regions) tend to have higher perceived levels of corruption compared to those in temperate, higher-latitude zones. While exceptions exist, such as Singapore (a low-corruption tropical nation), the overall pattern suggests that tropical countries often struggle with more intense public sector corruption and lower developmental levels.

Key Differences and Explanations:
  • Geographical and Historical Factors: Research suggests that high ultraviolet radiation (UV-R) in tropical regions correlates with the historical prevalence of eye diseases, which may have reduced work-life expectancy for skilled workers, limited human capital accumulation, and hampered the development of effective, incorruptible institutions.
  • Economic and Developmental Disparities: Tropical nations frequently have economies heavily based on agriculture, which may struggle to implement new technologies and, in some cases, have experienced lower individual productivity compared to temperate zones.
  • Climate and Planning: Some theories suggest that the "eternal summer" of the tropics requires less long-term planning for survival (e.g., storing food for winter) compared to colder climates, which may influence institutional development and, indirectly, corruption levels.
  • Disease Environment: Tropical areas are often more affected by diseases that impact human health and labor productivity, which can be linked to higher corruption levels.
Regional Comparisons:
  • Tropical Countries: Frequently exhibit high corruption, with examples including South Sudan, Somalia, and Venezuela.
  • Temperate Countries: Tend to rank as the least corrupt, such as Denmark, New Zealand, and Finland.
  • Exceptions: Singapore is consistently ranked among the least corrupt countries in the world, despite being located in the tropics.
Impact of Corruption:
Corruption in both regions influences economic development, but it is particularly noted for undermining environmental policies and climate initiatives in tropical areas, such as by enabling illegal logging.
 
Whites basically destroyed millions in unwarranted war and bombings which are not in the accounted for.
