Peaceful

Iceland has been voted as the most peaceful country in the world. It is the only NATO member which does not have a standing army and its police officers do not carry firearms on regular duty. Crime rates are often difficult to compare between countries because of different legal codes but Iceland has a very low homicide rate with only 0.3 recorded cases per 100,000 population, compared with 5.0 in the USA or 18.1 in Mexico
