Bangladesh has been ranked the third most peaceful country in South Asia, faring better than India and Pakistan in the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2015. Published by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), the index puts Bangladesh on the 84th spot globally, up from the 98th in last year's GPI. Having registered a gain in peaceful atmosphere inside the country, Bangladesh enjoys a "medium state of peace", according to the ninth edition of the report published recently. Iceland has retained its place as the most peaceful country in the world, followed by Denmark and Austria, while war-ravaged Syria remained at the bottom of the rankings. The United States is in the bottom half of the index, thanks to the level of militarisation, homicides and fear of violence persisting in the country. It's ranked 94th, 10 spots behind Bangladesh. "The world is becoming increasingly divided with some countries enjoying unprecedented levels of peace and prosperity while others spiral further into violence and conflict," the reports states in its assessment. In South Asia, Bhutan has been identified as the most peaceful country, followed by Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Individual composite scores of most countries in the region worsened, with just Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh registering gains, the GPI 2015 says. Globally, Bhutan ranks 18th, Nepal 62nd, Sri Lanka 114th, India 143rd, Pakistan 154th and Afghanistan 160th.
