Iceland is widely recognized as the safest country in the world.
Iceland has consistently held the top position in the Global Peace Index (GPI) for the past 14 years, making it the safest country globally according to this metric. The GPI considers factors such as political stability, social unrest, ongoing domestic and international conflict, and militarization. Iceland consistently scores well due to its low crime rates, high levels of social equality, and stable political environment. Its isolated location and small population also contribute to its overall safety.
While other countries also rank highly on safety metrics, Iceland's long-standing position at the top of the GPI solidifies its reputation as the safest place in the world.
