Seychelles are a well-known honeymoon destination. I guess some people don't stick to their wedding promises after a few days of hanging out together... :)

In all fairness, it has 4,176 times less than Brazil's number of murders.

It'd be interesting to see a list by percentage rather than number. Great quiz all the same though. I wasn't surprised by most of these.

I get that Iceland is pretty much just a paradise of happy people minding their own business and writing books, but 1?! That means there's 1 murder out of 320,716 people! That's .3 murders per 100,000 population! In comparison, the U.S. has 6.8 per 100,000! Anybody know why violent crime is so low in Iceland?!

I never understood why people assume low population density means everybody spreads equally over the area. Most Icelanders live in the capital region so they do in fact live near people.

Too cold to shoot anyone. They probably are busy having snowball fights and building snowmen.

I'm by far the most blown away by Singapore! Aren't there like 5 million people there? They must be very well-adjusted and well-behaved.

It is. Also there are very severe punishments for even small felonies. Neighboring Indonesia also has a homicide rate of 0.5 per 100k annually. Super low even for Western European standards.

Thanks for the quiz. Could possibly add the Jetpunk standard type in for Fed States of Micronesia: FSM.
