Do not forget Mail in the unfortunate top ten...if supplies of the central government are rare, local officials really become creative.

Morocco - Not corrupt at all. Great cops.
Mauritania - Not corrupt. But don't get caught carrying booze.
Senegal - Very corrupt indeed (if they catch you commiting a traffic offence)
Mali - nope
Burkina - nope
Ghana - not corrupt but very slow at borders.
Togo - nope
Benin - some corrupt bastards on borders
Niger - nope
Nigeria - Amazing! North of Nigeria at least uncorrupt and very helpful and friendly cops.
Ethiopia - no
Kenya - cheating bastards
Tanzania - so far so good
Uganda - lovely cops and border people

I forgot Chad!
The cops at the airport (I flew me and bike from Chad to Ethiopia) say "that'll be 5000" as they hand back your stamped passport.
The correct response is "No it won't." They will then wave you on.
Apart from the corruption, Chad (N'djamena anyway) is a bloody awful place. The worst country I've ever been to.
