I thought it was strange when I made the quiz. Apparently I scrolled too quickly to the bottom of the list. Georgia made an amazing recovery into peace but has been duly added to the list.

How do they measure "peaceful" here? I would have thought that China, with its high rate of killing people judicially, and the US with its high rate of mass shootings would feature. Several countries in the top 10 of rates of murder are also not here.

The US does perform rather poorly compared to other OECD countries. The criteria is fairly broad but probably open to criticism.

I've attempted to add Georgia several times but it doesn't seem to cooperate.

I was sure I did but on redoing the sequence it worked. Now Georgia finally has to acknowledge its not so peaceful past.

Wait a year and if nothing changes, Kyrgyzstan and Georgia will make it off the list.
