Elites are all doing the very similar things even though body tell them specifically what to do with all those different taxation rate. You just ask your accountant about different taxation rate on type of wealth. If you have enough IQ, you can figure how to minimize your rate by changing your type of wealth. But telling nobody else. Is that a cheating? Then you find out all other rich people are doing the same thing without saying a word.

I am from the CZ and our score does not surprise me much.<br />With Slovakia we lived about 70 years in the same state, but there have always been differences like after WWII (in electins) Slovaks leaned to democrats, Czechs to communists. Anecdotically czech women are more slutty than slovak, slovak are more family oriented etc (in my country there are other indicators like significant increase of divorces, single motherhood, sig. increase in early onset of sexual nehavior and alcohol consumption in juveniles - we are heading in certain direction ...)<br />We had also been influenced by centuries under Habsburg rule, yet Austria is much more honest (and lower Austria, especially Vienna, had notable czech immigration).<br /><br />Another interesting thing in the charts is number of fully honest people in Malaysia and Georgia. This might be caused by different subpopulations (lowland vs. highland origin in Georgia?).
