According to the Institute for Economics & Peace, the most
peaceful country in the world is Iceland. Yes, the country that
disrupted air travel across Europe with its spewing, unpronounceable
volcano a couple of years ago. Icelanders have an upside for everything:
they use the energy of volcanoes for heat.
Iceland is one of the most progressive nations on the
planet: its welfare system offers health care and higher education for
each of its 320,000 citizens; it is powered in large part by renewable
geothermal energy (see volcanoes, above); and it was one of the first
countries in the world to legalize gay marriage.
Tying for second place are Denmark and New Zealand. Try to guess the
nation that came in dead last before you check out the article at TIME
Newsfeed.
