While I do agree that NATO is not a great organisation, you can't really say that some countries in it are not peaceful. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Czechia and Denmark are in the top 10 on the Global Peace Index for 2018. That said some of the other countries in NATO (USA especially, also France, UK) are not nearly so peaceful.

This requires a very simplistic reading of "peaceful." I am not exactly a huge fan of the US's interventionist policies, but countries like the US, UK, and France ultimately do more good than harm by trying to contain violence and genocide. You can be "peaceful" in the sense that you totally mind your own business and never engage with anyone...but that leaves the true despots and tyrants of the world free to slaughter innocents within their orbit. And yes, I know the US, UK, and France have killed civilians with their overseas campaigns, but on balance, I'm not sure it's fair to say that the Swiss brand of peace is better than the British brand of it. Better for the Swiss, sure, but what about people living under tyrants? The issue is very complicated.

It is actually a little surprising (to me anyway) that Malta isn't on the list, especially considering how strategically important it was during WWII anyway. It also surprises me that Finland isn't on the list, considering it's historic strife against Russia. You would think that being directly on the Soviet Union's doorstep, and after the Winter War, the Finns would have been quick to jump on the NATO bandwagon!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, and I'll continue to say it - Czechia needs to be accepted for Czech Republic, since as you can see from this article- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Czech_Republic#Adoption_of_Czechia- Czechia (as I shall stubbornly refer to it as) AND the UN, no less, have recognised it as the official short name. Yet Jetpunk, worthy and authoritative website though I do believe it to be, continues to reject it. This is not Myanmar-Burma; there is negligible contention in the matter, with a legitimate government introducing it, and the wider international community accepting it. Yet Jetpunk continues to reject it. I do not know whether this is by conscious decision or simply not noticing the issue, but I humbly ask that you rectify it.
(I accept that I could be wrong on certain points, and would appreciate being enlightened as to any opposition to my view).

Didn't try the microstates, or the traditionally neutral ones (Ireland, Sweden & Switzerland). I did try Austria, Finland & Macedonia, and was surprised that none of them were NATO members. I've now read the discussion about Austria, but didn't think that Finland would have had much love for the USSR?

I think the Finland situation was (and still is?) due to Finland's close proximity with USSR/Russia and the fact that Finland was invaded during the Second World War by the Soviet Union - I assume that they didn't want to overly antagonize the Soviets, and to maintain peaceful links with both sides.

This quiz would have more difficult if it had not been in alphabetical order. Since the North Atlantic touches North America and Europe those are the likely choices. It is a bit confusing since there are more countries then are strictly touching the Atlantic.

When the USSR placed missiles on the United States' doorstep it almost lead to World War 3. Makes sense that Russia becomes nervous if they are surrounded by NATO members and bases (especially given the fact that there were probably promises not to expand NATO eastwards in 1990). This situation shouldn't make us Westerners thump our chests; we should be cautious.
