My question about the criticisms is, how does freedom affect peace? While some of the countries listed may actually give its citizens less personal freedoms, the index is measuring peace, not freedom. Oranges91 01:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2008 list

New 2008 list should replace the 2007 list. http://www.visionofhumanity.org/gpi/results/rankings/2008/

If anyone have the time to update, please do :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by UlrikOldenburg (talk • contribs) 21:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Semi done, though it could use some make over. If someone can point in the direction of a proper template I can regenerate it in a flash, -anon.

2007/2008

Many of the references are dated 2008, they should probably be 2007. Stevage 01:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ex aequo

Ex aequo countries should be taken into account. Why is Canada 8th and Portugal 9th if both have a 1.481 score? Because Canada comes first alphabetically?... That is not very scientific. The correct list should have two countries ranked as 8th and no country ranked as 9th. The same is true for Qatar and Costa Rica (ex aequo at 30th), France and Vietnam (34th), Kazakhstan and Bahrain (61st), etc. Gazilion (talk) 14:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland

I'm confused by this article. Is Ireland (island) listed 4th? or the Republic of Ireland listed 4th? GoodDay (talk) 22:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it up; on the assumption that the latter was meant. GoodDay (talk) 22:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
