Mark, I think you forgot one point. Concentration of power on a person should be viewed 2 ways:
Number of individuals/groups of individuals, and extension in time (you will more likely be corrupt if you know you are there for life).
Thus demography and geography have a role, but time has another one.
Whether rulers are or can be judged, during or after their reign, also affects corruption.
