An Index of Peace - where is your country

See where your country stands in the Peace rankings for this year:
This is a pretty interactive site and you can see what they come up with the rankings.
The prison statistics are absolutely amazing for the USA - over 2.2 million are currently in jail.
Does this have anything to do with Privatisation of the Prison system? food for thought anyway.

New Zealand comes in at No 1 for this years results - I will not tell you where America is in the rankings but have a guess from 1 the most peaceful to 140 the least peaceful. Write down your guess where America stands and then click on the link below.


How did you go ? - close or far away, were you surprised or not ??

Send to your international friends and ask them to do the same especially with their own country.
