Regime-held territory (Aleppo Damascus, latakia) at least has functioning rule of law and governance. Can think of a half-dozen other countries not listed above to put above Syria (Libya, Niger, DRC, etc.)

DRC is similar in that regard. Go to Katanga and other than getting harassed for bribes, you will be fine.

For the curious but lazy: The bottom 5 are Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Pakistan. With an honarary mention to Ukraine only 18 GPI points away from Pakistan. Which is rather interesting that a country in an all out war with a major (ex) superpower still safer than the bottom 5.

The Global Peace Index is a different survey than the Gallup Law and Order Index used in the article. Bottom five in the Gallup data are Sierra Leone, the DR Congo, Venezuela, Gabon and Afghanistan.

[Global Peace Index](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Peace_Index#:~:text=The updated index is released,to be the least peaceful.)

>Global Peace Index (GPI) is a report produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) which measures the relative position of nations' and regions' peacefulness. The GPI ranks 163 independent states and territories (collectively accounting for 99. 7 per cent of the world's population) according to their levels of peacefulness. In the past decade, the GPI has presented trends of increased global violence and less peacefulness.

Actually no. Since it's so normal to get shot nowadays, Brazil is also normal

No, just xenophobia as usual. As bad as some places can be here, Brazil doesn't even come close to freaking Somalia, Haiti or Afghanistan

Brazil being that low actually surprises me and I know it shouldn’t.

Hmm, didn't expect to not find Ukraine and Mexico in the bottom 5.

Ukraine actually makes sense, because they were constantly dealing with russia-sponsored insurgency groups.

China? The surveillance state that puts 1984 to shame?

chudsonracing t1_itykuyi wrote

I was thinking more dangerous for travelers, you can get locked up for breathing wrong and die in a Chinese prison. Although I guess that goes for their citizens too

Are you in the USA? this is so much fun to read if you're in the USA.

Odd_Local8434 t1_iu2ftt0 wrote

I mean fair, but the USA isn't China, in the USA you get locked up for being born poor, and/or not white. In China even the billionaires can get sacked, different awful systems.

addicted_to_bass t1_iu3osab wrote

I think it makes sense that billionaires are accountable when they do wrong, not that I approve harsh laws or Chinas judicial system (the little i know about it).
