Someone should make a game of thrones west wing based on all the political corruption in South Korea, their news stories are so hierarchical when you read about their government. That show would be lit.

Italy could work too given their longest lasting government lasts like 6 months.

True, good point but was it corruption bringing them down every time? Serious question I actually don't know other than the right wing party thing.

I never understand why the president is given the pardoning power. So subjective and what's the point of going through all the troubles to send the criminals behind the bars in the first place. And only those high-profile and connected and thus less deserving ones get pardonded anyway.

Could be. As courts have the highest power. But it seems to only benefit the well to do and connected, at any rate

south korea is proof to all third world countries that you can be unbelievably corrupt and also be a developed country as long as you have an open economic market and there are no civil wars
