Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

NZ is not a safe country if you are an avocado...

Avocado shortage fuels crime wave in New Zealand
Surging local and international demand for avocados is fuelling a crime wave in New Zealand.

Since January there have been close to 40 large-scale thefts from avocado orchards in the north island of New Zealand, with as many as 350 fruit stolen at a time.

Brunchers smashed by avocado prices amid Australian shortage

It is suspected many more thefts have gone unreported.

Avocados are selling for between NZ$4-6 each (£2-3) across the country, after a poor season last year and increasing local demand...

The recent thefts have taken place in the middle of the night, with the crop either “raked” from the tree and collected in blankets or sheets on the ground, or hand-picked and driven away to pop-up road-side stalls, grocery stores or small-scale sushi, fruit and sandwich shops in Auckland...

It's a great resource. I'm going to avoid the USA from now on, it's safer to holiday in Central America. And don't think you're safe in Sweden either - it's no better than West Papua. Be careful out there.

Been to 4 out of 5 of the least safe countries so far...just one to go. The only country out of the top 5 safest I've been to is my home country.

I hear all the rich and powerful are buying property in NZ, cause they are getting scared of living on the mainland anywhere.

From OP, the news.com.au site has concluded :
The countries were ranked on “militarisation, society and security, and domestic and international conflict”.

Iceland was named the world’s most peaceful country for the sixth year in a row, followed by Denmark, Austria, New Zealand and Portugal.

Panama, Thailand and Sri Lanka showed greatest improvements in peace.

Good to hear that there is less militarisation in Thailand 8)

^^ I think you might be misunderstanding.

It's the militarization that has brought about the great improvement in peace.
