Study of Peace: Country Rankings

[Repliica]

So yeah, I randomly came across this link on Facebook and thought to share it with you guys. No, not because NZ is number 1 (tehe) but because it's pretty interesting to see the rankings. I must admit that I was shocked with Canada's results.

Don't ask why, you guys are on the other side of the world from me. XD


"A ground-breaking milestone in the study of peace. For the first time, an Index has been created that ranks the nations of the world by their peacefulness and identifies some of the drivers of that peace."

Riiiiiight... 3.4/10 on Corruption perceptions for India...

If that isn't a crappy score those guys have no idea wtf they're talking about...

And an 8.21/10 for functioning government? ROFLMAOBBQXZ

This list is flaw'd as hell.

New Zealand is pretty much the best at everything. They're the least corrupt country in the world.

I'm not particularly surprised by any of that really.

It's also not got a population of 4 million, with 60 million sheep. But you can't really say it's bigger cuz you can't spend more than a few hours in 90% of Australia, so the liveable bits aren't that big.
