According to the Global Peace Index, by the Institute for Economics and Peace, Iceland was the most peaceful country as of 2012 with a score of 1.113. [Useful quote from Global Peace Index to define "peace" in this context:] WHAT IS THE GPI? The Global Peace Index represents a ground-breaking milestone in the study of peace. It ranks the nations of the world by their peacefulness and identifies some of the drivers of peace. Most people understand the absence of violence as an indicator of peace. This definition also allows for the measuring of peacefulness within, as well as between, nations. The GPI ranks Independent countries by their ‘absence of violence’ using metrics that combine both internal and external factors. See: http://www.visionofhumanity.org/globalpeaceindex/about-the-gpi/
