The 2010 Global Peace Index, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace based in Australia, has been released. Canada has been ranked 14th on the list, with New Zealand taking the top spot, the US at 85th, and Iraq being rated dead-last at 149th. The Institute says the world is a less peaceful place this year compared to last year, fueled primarily by a rise in crime and civil unrest related to the global financial crisis.View the complete GPI interactive world map here.
