Topic Reading-Vol.4883-9/6/2025

Dear MEL Topic Readers, 
Five of the world's safest countries for 2025It seems that small, isolated countries are safer than others, according to the Global Peace Index (GPI), which measures trends in peace, economic value, and how to develop peaceful societies. Its three domains include the level of social safety and security, the extent of ongoing domestic and international conflict, and the degree of militarization. This year, three island nations, Iceland, Ireland, and New Zealand, and two landlocked mountain countries, Austria and Switzerland, are found to be at the top of the list, followed by Singapore. Among the European nations, Iceland is a member of NATO, but Ireland, Austria, and Switzerland are not. New Zealand has a small but capable military, and Singapore maintains one of the highest levels of military expenditure per capita. While compulsory military service applies in Austria, Switzerland, and Singapore, Iceland, Ireland, and New Zealand rely on voluntary military service. What makes a nation more peaceful than others?
Read the article and learn about the countries that are regarded as the world’s safest.
