This is deceiving. Getting real numbers from mainland china is like proving the existence of UFOs. You have hints but you are just guessing.

Given the lack of open government in China I would say that rather negates any logical conclusions which may be gleemed in a comparison ranking.

Australia would be a great place to live, if not for:

Killer Sharks (Great White, Tiger, Nurse)
Killer Jellyfish (Irukandji, Box)
Killer Snakes (Taipan, Brown, Tiger, Death Adder)
Killer Insects (Funnel Web, Redback, Whitetail, Scorpion)
Killer Reptiles (Crocodiles, Alligators, Bearded Dragons)
Killer Mammals (Platypus: fuckin things are poisonous!)
Killer Environment (Deserts, GIANT OZONE HOLE!)
Killer Opera House (Seriously though nice job on that one)

Ya forgot the toads.

Everybody is forgetting the toads! What is to become of the toads?

So then, what is the point? It's the "4 out of 5 dentists" thing again.

OK, I want to know when the Opera House killed anyone. Are you referring to when it was constructed? lol

Yea, but what about the toads?:D

bugger the toads. My sons have declared war on them.

They're moving down south now anyway.

Besides, they're nothing to be scared of.

*is number one on the list*

Huzzah!

I think the list is meant more as a guideline than actual rule. I mean, it's not 100% correct, and some of their peace indicators are a bit strange. It just gives you a general idea.

I find it ironic that your country is number one in the index and are also one of the biggest supporters of death and black metal.

Doesn't mean anything, just ironic.
