It is interesting how the United States ranks lower than some African countries in the midst of war. Something to consider.

There appear to be several components of the methodology that are not adjusted for country size.

For a decade or so I've had this semi-joke of curating "The League of Reasonable Nations." I add and remove countries over time. It's a subjective categorization of countries that I find to be "reasonable".

It's interesting that these countries repeatedly show up in lists together, like GPI. I think it has to do with my own biases + liberalism + development + peacefulness.

It would be great to have the composing variables available, i.e. uncompressed into a single number.

I wanted to play around with multidimensional data about global trends like these for a while now, but looking up all that data can be a drag, if possible at all.

That’s really interesting! I’ve been also noticing a similar pattern myself, in which such a list seems to be comprised of pretty much most of Western Europe, AUS+NZ and some other northern, semi-European (as a way of speaking) countries e.g. Canada and Iceland.

Another, half-joking way of looking at it would be ‘countries that do not present a significant immigration towards the US’

I am a liberal-minded man that live in a Russian provincial city and witness low crime rates and non-existent internal conflicts yet we seat below Pakistan. I think this rating can be safely considered trash

Delighted for Portugal's continuous presence in the top 5.
