World's most peaceful countries

Recommended Posts

I was quite surprised when I read an LA Times article regarding about rankings of countries statistically from various types to see whether a country is more or less peaceful.

 

Article: http://www.latimes.c...0,2224809.story

For more information see the main source website: http://www.visionofh...y.org/gpi-data/

 

So here's the top five:

1. Iceland

2. New Zealand (tie)

Denmark (tie)

4. Canada

5. Japan

 

The others:

6. Ireland (tie)

Austria (tie)

15. Germany

22. Australia

25. Spain

27. Taiwan

29. UK

40. France

88. USA

89. China

135. Mexico

153. Russia

158. Somalia (still the worst in decades)

 

IDK how the website manages to collect data from each country but technically I have to disagree with the 27th rank.

 

For this discussion, no cursing, spamming or ramming off-topic. Abide by the forum rules.

Does this ranking includes the complete history of a Nation?

I think all it includes is some guy's random guesses...

If it includes a complete history, there should literally be no number one. Seems like everyone was getting in on the "let's make some war" act back in the day.

In varying degrees.

Where is Antartica? :D

Antarctica isn't a country.

 

But other than the climate, it seems to be quite peaceful there. Too peaceful... The Antarctic Treaty prohibits nuclear explosions.
