There are certain countries and geographic areas with significantly higher than world average accident rates that correlate with the two mentioned contributory factors (lack of compliance and lack of regulatory oversight -- which of course go hand in hand).
Examples one could use would be xxxxx, and several countries in West Africa, that suffer from a serious lack of oversight (or ineffective oversight) due to various cultural, political, and economic reasons.
Having said that, there are also some "developed countries" that are having issues with funding and staffing of the regulator, which in turn has lead to a lack of oversight and therefore non-compliance laying latent and undiscovered until an accident or major incident brings to light the inadequate regulatory oversight. xxxxxx, as an example, has been on this path for some time now.
