    Treason is a really powerful crime that carries heavy consequences. Bribery at peace should still carry consequences but in some cases (countries) treason alone carries a death penalty. Bribery during peace maybe shouldn’t carry such a steep penalty

      Agreed, equating them is just penalty inflation.

      A more productive focus would be:

      1. that those who have been shown to accept bribes are actually removed from their position prosecuted successfully.
      2. Transparent governance with independent watchdogs so that corruption is harder to hide.
