Peace in our time...

...but not in our country. The US comes in at 96th out of 121 countries according to the World Peace Index. That is just below The Yemen and just above America's perennial favourites Iran. America's young protégé, Iraq, outperformed its mentor by coming in at 121; that's last for those of you who are rubbish at maths. Infamous whale killers Norway ranked at the top and 18 of the top 20 are socialist states by American standards. The UK ranks 49th; sandwiched between Morocco and Mozambique.

The full rankings with backup detail may be found here.
