The institute released its Global Peace Index for 2015 last week, which ranks 162 nations around the globe based on factors like the level of violent crime, involvement in conflicts and the degree of militarization. Of the top ten countries, which one -- and you have to choose from this list, so there will be no N/A -- would you choose to live in?

Just for your interest, the United States ranked 94th on the list out of 162 countries . Do you think that the United States deserves such a low ranking, or is it completely unjustified? Completely justified-- the amount of violence, shooting, military presence, etc. all increased
