The national culture based on six dimensions of Hofstede et al. The best countries rank number based on usnews.com. The CPI based on transparency.org. The Governance based on The World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, in six expressions. The two highest of culture indicators is Malaysia (Power distance and Indulgence). The two most top indicators of culture are Hungary (Individualism and Masculinity), while the highest uncertainty avoidance is France, and the highest score of long term orientation is Singapore. The highest CPI Score is Singapore (84 out of 100 ratings), and the highest number of best countries is France (9 out of 80 countries). Six indicators of Culture correlate with governance indicators. CPI correlates with best countries rank number and five governance indicators. Country Rank correlates with six governance indicators. The results show that not all of the variables correlate with other variables, but governance correlates with all the three variables. These suggest that the improvement of national culture, the higher the rank number of the best countries and the higher the CPI will lead to being better governance.  ER -
