United States given the same physical safety level as Mexico and a lower level than most African countries (including South Africa)? What are you basing that off of?



It appears to be based on the Global Peace Index rating, wherein the United States rates juuust below... Haiti.

It has nothing to do with physical safety, obviously.


I guess I can’t fault the site’s creator for going with an established ranking, but after reading what you said and taking a look at the index it seems utterly laughable.
