Why does the city of Basel, Switzerland rule so bad?

Their referees are Swiss so they want to be neutral and not upset anyone by making any calls.

Nothing is what it seams. I think that there is corruption everywhere. There was trouble over tickets, someone from FIFA was sacked/asked to leave because they was selling tickets 2 or 3 times face value.\n\nBut as for match fixing, i think is almost impossible. \n\nBut hey who's knows in this freaking world.

It is against the law.

The  Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducts this survey, looking at stability; healthcare; culture and environment; education; and infrastructure. Last year's winners include Vienna, Geneva, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver(#1) and Melbourne. Worst places to live are Algiers and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.\n\nWhich is all fine and dandy, but what about fun...?

because the Indian officials (most of em) have a corrupt mentality which rather chooses to use ill-quality material rather than something better. an Indian traffic rules allow almost everything that is movable on roads .. so how the fuck you expect the roads to still be fine.

The answer is D.  I studied in Berlin last fall and that was actually part of what we learned.\nB is arguably the most noticable effect as Kreuzberg (which had previously been split became the physical center of the city and people began travelling through.

In fact, Switzerland is starting to lose its edge as it is trying to harmonise its laws with those of the European Union. As such, a lot of people are starting to move their money to other financial centers around the world. \n\nSingapore has a top class banking system and its private wealth sector has been growing in leaps and bounds. Singapore has a good legal system, has tight banking laws, handles banking secrecy well and is well respected around the world.

Listen, as a fan of Mexico I totally understand. We were bounced from 2002 by a blatantly ignored foul which would have very probably turned the game for us. Sure Portugal was robbed, what about Spain and worse Italy! There was actually some talk of some of these countries taking legal action, but its useless, FIFA is a world-wide powerhouse of corruption and influence peddling.\n\nJust look at the facts: the Swiss police have raided the FIFA headquarters twice in the past year and seized ALL FIFA's files including all the files from Sepp Blatter's executive offices. The Swiss courts have forced dozens of FIFA executives to pay back tens of millions of dollars in bribes which they have admitted accepting. They are currently investigating a sworn affidavit which now claims that instead of the corrupt and guilty officials, the FIFA itself illegally paid back the bribe money!\n\nThere are hundreds of sworn statements about FIFA officials around the world suddenly, inexplicably becoming wealthy, coverups, huge wads of cash being stuffed under the hotel room doors of FIFA delegates during Sepp Blatter's elections and on and on and on and on.......\n\nThe administrative corruption of FIFA is enormous. Would they extend that to corruption on the field? In 2002 almost every really bad decision made on the field was made in favor of teams like US and Korea where FIFA is desparate to expand. Coincidence? I'm not a big believer in coincidences. \n\nInternational foolball and the World Cup are just too important to too many people in the world to permit even the possibility of this type of corruption. The current international investigations of FIFA by the Swiss police, Interpol and others should be enlarged to include the possibility of game tampering!\n\nIf you even remember that there WAS a referee in the game, that's bad officiating. For the 100s of millions the WC makes, we deserve much better!

Just look at the U.S. under George W. Bush. That's a prime example of bad governance!

I think it depends on where you live! Bigger cities seem to be ruder than smaller ones!

Pretty much a bad one.  Extreme official corruption--still plagues the people of that region today.  They polluted the land terribly--many heavy metals are buried throughout the region--not to mention the tragedy of Chernobyl.  The leaders of the Soviet Union also were responsible for mass murder--e.g. the forced starvation of Ukraine by Joseph Stalin in the 1930's still has repercussions today.  On a more positive side, they did have a pretty good educational system--the people are very well educated, especially in math & sciences--and the Arts did not die under their suppression.
