Peace Indicator: 1.202

1.202 was the score given to New Zealand when Vision of Humanity gave that country the top score in this year's Global Peace Index.

For the last three years Vision of Humanity released their rating of how peaceful countries in the index are. This year's rankings were developed by reviewing 23 factors for 144 countries. Unfortunately,this year's ratings showed an over all trend away from peace, but it's still good to sit atop a list like this. Congratulations, New Zealand!

If you're wondering, the United States came in 83rd.
