Global Peace Index is a peace organisation that as released a table of 121 countries around the world, they used such index as size of army, number of police, conflicts internal and external, crimes commited, 24 sets of officially avaliable data.
Norway on paper is the most peaceful country in the world followed by New Zealand and Denmark. Japan is the best asian country in 5th place, Canada in 8th place is the best of the America's. The best African country is Tunisia in 39th place.
The UK is 49th place which is ok, take us out of Iraq and Afghanistan and we'd be in the teens.
Sadly Thailand finished in 105th place, oh dear! What with trouble in the south, military coup and the ending of democracy is it any wonder. Don't get me wrong, from my last few posts you may think i'm giving it verbally to Thailand now i'm not there. Nothing could be further from the truth, I am genuinely worried for the people I know, all that is going on is out of their control, plus they don't know half that is going on.
