The next four most peaceful countries are New Zealand, Portugal, Austria and Denmark.

They measured murder rate, how easy it was to get weapons, terrorism and terror attacks, and number of soldiers or police each country had. The IEP said Syria is least peaceful country in world. Syria has now been bottom of list for five years in row. The next four most violent countries are Afghanistan, Iraq, South Sudan and Yemen.
