Let's All Move To Iceland!

I enjoyed seeing where certain countries stood. Rather than moving to Iceland, I think I'd prefer Ireland!!! The Irish know how to have a good time & they have beautiful countryside!!! My family's heritage is part Irish & I think it would be interesting to trace back my family tree!!! That plus Ireland was #6 on the list whereas the good old USA was #96; so I'd be improving my peacefulness!!!

Sounds great! It is a pity that Iceland is in so much trouble financially though. That might put a few people off moving there! I think I would rather move to New Zealand. Not quite as cold as Iceland, but still very spectacular and a lot closer for me. I was disappointed to see Australia down at number 26. There was a time when we would have been at or near the top of that list. Those day are gone as we become more and more Americanised!

It is fascinating to find out Iceland is the most world's most peaceful place. It doesn't surprise me to hear that all the countries in Scandinavia are peaceful and near to the top of the list. I worked in Finland when I was a Children's nanny when I was 18 years old. The family had three houses: a town house, a farm house in the countryside and a lakeside log cabin. We could leave the front door open and nobody or anything would come to any harm. We cycled to the motorway and left our bikes there. Of course they were still there when we got back. These Scandinavian countries have low populations and well behaved citizens. I think that the weather in Iceland would be too cold for me. I would like the beautiful landscape and the friendly people for a trip there in the height of summer.

They're too busy fighting off volcanic eruptions and keeping warm to get involved in wars...

I haven't checked out the link yet but my first thought is that there is no way that I would live anywhere that is so cold. Wasn't there some sort of huge financial upheaval there as well within the past year? The details are fuzzy but I think that it had something to do with the state bank being insolvent or something of that sort.

That is an interesting site.Seems the Scandinavian countries are the ones to move to. Ireland is number 6 as the most peaceful, not bad but I guess that would have to do with our neutrality. I thought the UK would have been higher up on the list though. I then checked the biggest drinkers, Ireland is number 3

I would very much like to visit Iceland. The name itself is very beautiful and unique. It promises that there will be lots of ice. I've not had the chance to go there so far. And I have not met any one from Iceland in the coubtries I have been to either.

Wow the United States is number 94 on the list of the most peaceful, I'd thought it'd be higher up but I guess not.

Iceland is peaceful because the people in Iceland are peaceful. Now if everyone moves to Iceland then Iceland will cease being peaceful. Overpopulation doesn't make people happy.

Hello Janey, The name "Iceland" sounds exciting and interesting,and i would love to visit that place too. I could just imagine walking alone at night in the midst of nowhere and feeling safe (wow..what a peaceful life it would be) I just wonder about the freezing cold,i hope i can survive it there have a great weekend dear

I know what you mean, I went to the site and forgot I had to come back to your discussion. Very interesting, seeing that Iceland is so frigid, perhaps the frigid weather allows people to be a bit more warm with one another.

You're right about saying Iceland is the most peaceful, but I still have no idea of moving there when chance comes. Iceland can be the most peaceful, but it is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, considering its location at the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Anyway, I like Iceland because of its high standard of living (all Scandinavians can die as centenarians) and its varied diet. Yet I still don't want because I've had a bad experience with volcanic eruptions in the past.

yaa i agree with u,it's the most peaceful country in the world,but Iceland also number#1 in other stuffs too,like we say-corruption,Iceland is on the top of all the other countries of world in corruption too. check this website:-nationmaster.com according to this site Iceland is the most corrupted country,that y its one of the peaceful country.

what u use to do on that site,sorry but why u spent that much of time on that site.

I am not surprised to find that Iceland is the most peaceful. It has a pretty uniform population, generally all of some Scandinavian background. It is pretty isolated from other countries that might be interested in its (lack) of resources... It has a lot of cheap energy (geothermal) that can't be stolen and - honestly, only those hardy folks really want to live in that aptly named chunk of ice. I would, however, LOVE to visit it!
