Interesting Information
Each year, an Australian think tank crunches data to work out which countries are safest and most dangerous out of 163 independent states and territories.
It looks at factors like crime rates, terrorist attacks, murder rates, weapon imports and exports, rates of people being incarcerated, corruption and the government functioning.
The top 20 safest countries in the world:
1. Iceland
2. New Zealand
3. Austria
4. Portugal
5. Denmark
6. Canada
7. Czech Republic
8. Singapore
9. Japan
10. Ireland
11. Slovenia
12. Switzerland
13. Australia
14. Sweden
15. Finland
16. Norway
17. Germany
18. Hungary
19. Bhutan
20. Mauritius
The UK came in a dismal 57th place, although the good news is that we don’t have to travel far to find peace.

Re: Interesting Information
I'm surprised Japan was 9th, I thought they would be in the top 5.
