The index is only for current events, not historical events. As you can see, countries such as Germany and Japan did fairly well, though in world war 2 they were not peaceful at all. monocletophat123— Preceding undated comment added 19:50, 10 April 2011‎

Spain 29th and Argentina 69th ?

I can't believe these numbers reflect the real threath of terrorism in both countries. I, as an Argentinian, almost got arrested twice in Spain last year. Once for filming a subway access in Madrid. The second time for filming Vitoria-Gasteiz bus terminal. Nobody would be bothered by the police for these simple things in Argentina. The police officer at Vitoria told me that they were afraid of a Muslim attack. The officer himself looked more Muslim than Spaniard, and I look like a local (I'm of Basque ancestry).

Is it possible to set some form of edit-protection for this page?

From what I see, at least in the 2008-2019 table, countries & values are scrambled (check the bottom countries of the 2019 column, for example). Seeing the frequency with which people try to vandalise the page & the fact that the 2018 column is almost entirely inaccurate -- it could be that a lot of the table is actually wrong... When editing, there is a message about using a script for an easier retrieval of data, however I don't know if I'll be able (/figure out) how to use it.

I will try to check and correct some mistakes nonetheless, perhaps even update the table with the 2020 & 2021 reports, but it all seems pointless if the page just immediately gets scrambled. People come & mismatch country names from their proper corresponding rows, sometimes even changing ranks or values -- and it isn't always caught. Then, prob new people come & edit on top of those mistakes.

I don't think it's ok for this article to be left without editing restrictions.. Dhyana b (talk) 21:41, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

K pop made the change for the countries index?

Is there any officials sayings about the lasts changes here that put away Iceland from the top1 despite the text readings which shows a complete otherwise? Meanders2001 (talk) 19:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question

Should I remove the older ranks? Since yeah, there pretty much old Raldfan (talk) 11:46, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
