The Top Ten
1 Norway Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard.

Norway's prisons are the most humane prisons in the world which means that even their prisons are peaceful. Yet despite the luxurious prisons, crime is still very rare in Norway; which proves that Norway is indeed truly a peaceful country.

Being Canadian my opinion is probably biased however I do believe Canada is a very peaceful country. Canada has built a reputation as a peace keeping country even though it has become tarnished over the years. Canada grants people of all origins an opportunity to live in a very diverse and free country. After all our country was built by the people brave enough to make Canada their home.

Shouldn't Switzerland be on this list. They haven't been directly involved in a war since (I believe) the 1860s. But don't get me wrong, Canada is awesome. So much better than the US.

Thank god america is not on the first page because america always takes top spots. Also america is currently at war with nations right now.
