Iceland Is The World’s Most Peaceful Country
Today, Western and Central Europe stand as the most peaceful region in the world.
This comes at a time when global conflict deaths have reached a 25-year high, and 106 countries have become more militarized over the past two years—reversing two decades of decline. Meanwhile, the successful resolution of conflicts has fallen to its lowest level in 50 years.
The graphic below, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows how peaceful countries are in 2025, based on the IEP’s Global Peace Index 2025.
Methodology
For the analysis, the IEP used 23 equal-weighted indicators to assess the stability countries, including:
-
Deaths from internal conflict
-
Violent demonstrations
-
Perceptions of criminality
-
Terrorism impact
-
Safety and security
Overall, 99.7% of the global population was covered across 163 countries and territories.
