Iceland is consistently #1.
One reason NZ scores better than many European countries for peace is relatively low spending on defence, arguably letting other countries bear that burden. It also say NZ has quite a lot of theft, especially pickpocketing aimed at tourists

$3,000,000 on an AC75 design package for all teams, which is why it was classed as an event cost.

Assimilation didn't work, so we're having a go at separatism.

Well you were one of the people quoting the peace index I thought, which includes consideration of military spending-they even list it as one of the reasons NZ comes second.
So maybe read the criteria of the indices you are quoting?

All that is happening SbD is similar to not treating children and adults the same or women and men the same we are changing our way of thinking to treat each type of person differently where necessary. This will benefit us all with fewer sick, better treatment for all. Soon you will have a DNA test on your hospital record which will help with getting you the right treatment for you.
This is not Separatism (Racism?)

Some of us are. Two thoughts:
1) Tribalism - therefore 'each type of person' cannot have an individual identity
2) Who is the arbitrator of 'where necessary'.
Unless you are in a domestic partnership, then not to shit hot. Or perhaps if are a kid in the wrong family. Or just a teenager needing a bit of help.
Not so shit hot for them. But whatever, you are such a knowledgeable arsehole.
So busier than ours. 😯

1) Each child can be a child
2) I don't have to tell you that this is a child and how you should treat her/him.
1) each sail trimmer can be a sail trimmer
2) you might think they are a good or bad sail trimmer and we might agree which is the best and the Skipper should decide who should take the job right now.

In a probably doomed attempt to return this thread to something at least vaguely relevant to its subject, here's a piece on sportwashing in golf and KSA money. Quite amusing.

On the Trumpist frontlines of the Saudi golf takeover
At Donald Trump’s golf club in Virginia, I watched new money hijack a venerable sport.https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/sport/2023/06/saudi-arabia-liv-golf-pga-tour-megrer-trump

Well you and 2nd safest country in the world, and didn't mention crime in your post. This after someone else used the peace Index, an index which does show NZ in 2nd.
So which crime index did you use? Because the one below puts you a long way from 2nd. And I know you like people to post evidence to back up claims
FIFY
There is some speculation by even reputable people that Trump will be benefitting from this deal, the LIV/PGA playing and paying for events on his golf courses. And, closer to the National Security documents indictments that came down at the end of this week, about if Trump shared/sold/influenced the Saudis with any of the classified information he went to such great lengths to, to try keep and hide.
Unlike the Russian, this thread has finally jumped the shark. 🙂
