Institute of Economics and Peace has published a report about the most peaceful countries in the world. Based on the ranking most of the Top 20 countries are small nation with little corruption. Only Japan from Asia made it into the Top 10. Which is quite a feat considering the massive population! It is not easy to maintain a peaceful country when there are more people (if is not obvious already). It has to be noted that Iceland the usual favorite has dropped off the Top 3, due to the collapse of the Iceland Banks (plenty of unhappy people unleashing their anger?). The bottom Top 10 list is some what expected as they are mostly war torn nations or a collapse economy. I am surprised however on the fact that North Korea is not featured in the bottom Top 10 list!
