Hey, America — need a protected space?
In line with the masterminds behind this 12 months’s Global Peace Index, don’t look anywhere within the relatively rancorous United States, which ranked a dismal #133 on a latest list of the safest countries on this planet.
Compiled by the Institute of Economics and Peace, the rating takes under consideration statistics like homicide and prison population, terrorism, military might and international conflicts.
But wait, there’s more bad news — the list ranks countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and violence-ravaged Central American states like El Salvador and Honduras as more “peaceful” than the nice ol’ US of A.
The knife-crime ridden United Kingdom rings in at thirty seventh, while Australia ranked No. 22. Our goody two-shoes neighbor to the north sits all the best way up at #11.
Not less than the US isn’t considered to be among the many ten worst places to go to — those less-than-coveted slots were assigned to Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Russia, the South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Somalia, Central African Republic and Sudan.
Setting aside our wounded provincial pride, this 12 months’s ten safest — most peaceful — places do read like a who’s-who of must-sees. Read on for the entire list.
10. Switzerland
9. Japan
8. Slovenia
7. Portugal
6. Singapore
5. Austria
4. Recent Zealand
3. Ireland
2. Denmark
1. Iceland
Overall winner: Finland
Finland, based on the organization compiling the GPI, deserves a special mention as top-of-the-line, happiest and safest places to see this 12 months.
Low crime and violence rates, in addition to a low mortality rate and decreased risk of natural disasters, has allowed the Scandinavian country closest to Russia to be considered a top locale to see.
Finland was labeled as probably the most joyous nation for the sixth consecutive 12 months within the separate, annual World Happiness Report.
That report checked out as subjects reminiscent of GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and corruption to make a conclusion.
