Evaluate the impact/effects of fraud and corruption on a country

There are several effects that corruption and fraud can have on a country. For one, the needs of the people, especially the poor would not be addressed. This is due to the corrupt practices when the funds intended for them to corrupt officials instead. This would also breed discontent and would later lead to war. Another is that other countries would sever ties with that particular country. Being associated such a country would mean they too support the corruption happening there.
