There's a cathedral in Auckland so it is a city, no matter how sparse or small ;-)

New Zealand was just ranked #1 in the Global Peace Index.

I can imagine the arguments why it cannot be true.. and no way USA can be #85 around countries like Senegal, Bolivia, Brazil, Angola, Peru and Mongolia.

But it's a big win for NZ -- Australia was #19 and the organization who does the ranking is in Sydney!
