I like that you mentioned starting from yourself. In highly corrupt countries, the corruption runs very deep. You can see corruption on all levels. Many people complain about corruption in the government, but they don't think about how they themselves are corrupt. If it bothers you that the prime minister accepts a bribe, you shouldn't be giving bribes to police officers to get out of speeding tickets. When you do that, you are just fueling the system. The first thing should be to stop giving and receiving bribes yourself. I'm not sure that corruption can be completely erased from a country, but I think it can be completely removed from the mainstream.
