A nation where the government is extremely corrupt but the people are law-abiding would look like a dystopian bureaucracy: you have to bribe your way through endless layers of pencil-pushing officials just to get a business license or legal representation or whatever, but most folks just live quiet lives working legitimately and keeping their noses clean. In fact, lawbreakers might even be drawn to positions of authority, where they can grift and extort freely, without fear of government reprisal. Corrupt police departments, for example, which abuse their powers and shield their officers from justified investigation into their abuses, would be an example of a corrupt government branch whether or not the people overall are obeying the laws.

I don't see how inclusiveness is relevant to either side though. Being inclusive in NS just means you treat people equally, neither giving nor denying special favor based on category (ethnicity, nationality, gender, creed, orientation, occupation, age, etc.)

the idea of corrupt cop asking a guy if he can beat him to which the repy is "yeah sure im doing anything important right now" is funny though.
its like that tike 2 guys broke in an fbi building by asking the employees to hold open a door for them.
