I think most developed countries have the majority of rulers governing by truth.Truth is the single most foundation of accountability.Lies lead to corruption and greed.Just ask yourself how many times in a day do you lie about something and measure it with your success?

To state that developed countries are developed because these rulers are governing by truth is to pervert facts. They tell intelligent lies, that's the difference. Politics is all about tricks and intrigues, about telling false truths and securing your interests. For example to say let's plug out Sadam because he is massacring his own people in cold blood is not to tell a lie at all but to say he is the only one doing so is to tell a fat lie. To say let’s spread religion in Africa because we want to save their souls is a fat lie also.
Actually it depends on how you define truth; there are true lies as well.
