Indonesia - Most Polite Countries in the World

Kudos, eclats and plaudits go out to Indonesia for being ranked one of the most polite (or least rudest) countries in the world to visit for foreign travelers.  Considering that there are  200 +/- countries in the world (193 members of the United Nations and 195 recognized independent countries by the U.S. Dept of State), Indonesia's ranking at number 29 down the list of least rude countries means that Indonesia is in the top 14 percentile of most polite countries in the world.

(Driving behavior was obviously not included as as indices of "politeness" as Indonesians forget all manners and courtesies when they get behind the wheel of an automobile or on a motorbike and are the rudest most self centered and non right-of-way yielding bastards I have ever known when it comes to driving behaviors. Case in point: it is common for motorbikes and even cars to drive in the wrong direction on your side of the road, and they actually expect YOU to stop or move over or get out of the way for them. Not very "polite" or considerate behavior by any stretch of the imagination)
