Abaya, you're spot on with your interpretation - this isn't about being forced to do something. Holding a gun (or the metaphorical equivalent) to someone's head doesn't factor into the equation here.

As far as foreign countries go, while I didn't necessarily have that in mind when I wrote my post, I have paid bribes before (at some point, I'll have to journal about The Mongolian Insurance Scam that I foiled for some friends). That said, I don't necessarily see those as existing outside of the context of my OP. I think that we have the answers for the bribe-seekers, wherever they may be. Their code does not eliminate extorting money from folks.

Another question for the masses - could you be a highly paid prostitute (putting aside your actual desirability for the moment; I know I need that willing suspension of disbelief to ask myself) along the lines of Kristen and the rest of the women at VIP Emporers Club?
