How do I reduce the corruption in the game using the logs?

It really annoys me, losing money on nothing

I've always wondered about corruption myself.

Why is it there, how does it come to be and how is it countered?

Well, I know it is there because of distance from your Capitol.
I'm sure there are other things which affect it, but that's all I remember.

In the descr_settlement_mechanics.xml in the data folder... change the following

Code:

      <factor name="SIF_CORRUPTION">
         <pip_modifier value="1.0"/>

To...

Code:

      <factor name="SIF_CORRUPTION">
         <pip_modifier value="0.0"/>

This will significantly drop corruption...

or change this

Code:

      <factor name="SOF_DISTANCE_TO_CAPITAL">
         <pip_modifier value="0.5"/>
         <castle_modifier value="0.5"/>
         <city_modifier value="0.5"/>
         <pip_min value="0"/>
         <pip_max value="16"/>

To

Code:

      <factor name="SOF_DISTANCE_TO_CAPITAL">
         <pip_modifier value="0.0"/>
         <castle_modifier value="0.0"/>
         <city_modifier value="0.0"/>
         <pip_min value="0"/>
         <pip_max value="16"/>
