The 30 most dangerous countries in the world in 2024

The world is a dangerous place to live in, especially when one considers that there are 195 countries with their own governments and their own agendas. Every year, a global think tank in Australia–called the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)–releases a report known as the Global Peace Index. The report measures how peaceful each country in the world is by analyzing many factors, including a country’s rate of violent crime and the number of wars fought. After analyzing these statistics, each country is given a GPI score; and the lower the score, the better. We’ve curated a list of the most dangerous countries mentioned in the report, and you might be surprised with the results. Intrigued? Click through the gallery to see what those countries are.

And Bryant’s response, paraphrased, was basically, “so what?” His point: If everyone else is getting better,...

This was a moment to stop and take in the beauty of my surroundings. Bordering Italy and Slovenia, Carinthia is Austria’s southernmost region, a...
