May 20, 2008 by patrickwoolford

Panama was listed 48 in the Global Peace Index released by Britain’s Economist Intelligence Unit,
putting Panama one spot ahead of the United Kingdom.
The index ranks 140 different countries according to factors such as military spending
and respect for human rights.
Iceland and Denmark took the top spots in the rankings this year,
beating the United States by an incredibly large margin, which had a ranking of 97.
Panama’s higher ranking likely reflects the small nations relatively low crime rate
and lack of a military force.
