English translation: Storybook on the history of good government

Chinese term or phrase: 廉政历史故事书

廉=clean, honest, non-corruption
政=Politics or Administration
历史= historical
故事=story
书=book

The literal translation would be: " Historical stories on non-corruption". What would not be nice.

But if I say: ""The value of non corruption and integrity for the maintenance of a harmonious society". It is not exactly the same as in Chinese.

I wonder who can advise a better translation for the name of this book?

By the way, the word 廉政 how should it be translated in English?

As "anticorruption", "non-corruption" or "integrity"? I have asked many translators in Asia, nobody can provide the other.

Please help! Thanks!

Historical stories on clean government

Explanation:
The term for 廉政 in English is "clean government" (government which is not corrupt). You do not need to translate the word 书 (book) because I assume that this is a book title, and English title names traditionally do not use the word "book" because that is too literal.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Paul, thank you for your advice. Yes, I think clean government is correct. May be "honest government" will do, too.
