BERLIN, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Below are the some of the best and worst ranked nations in corruption watchdog Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).

The CPI is a composite index that draws on multiple expert opinion surveys measuring perceived levels of public sector corruption in 180 countries.

It scores countries on a scale of zero to 10, with zero indicating high levels of perceived corruption and 10 indicating low levels. A mark below three suggests corruption is "rampant".

The full rankings and additional details on the survey can be found on www.transparency.org.
