The Economics and Peace Institute publishes its Global Peace Index survey every year. This list retrieves from such a report that calculates how dangerous or unsafe a country is based on 23 different metrics, including political terror, domestic war deaths, and murder rates. It assesses 163 countries that account for over ninety-nine percent of the global population in three areas: ‘safety and security.’ In the GPI survey, 163 countries are evaluated, representing more than 99% of the total population worldwide. Three related fields are the variables evaluated in the report:
- Safety and Security
- Ongoing Conflict
- Militarisation
According to the agency, we assessed the level of security in countries as “political violence (includes terrorism, insurgency, political unrest, and war), social unrest (including sectarian, community and ethnic violence), as well as acts of violence and meager crime.
So, Round up to the top ten countries in the world below that are most dangerous.
10. Russia
High militarisation in Russia leads to its place on the list, along with one of the highest levels of arms exports per capita. Russia is the world’s 10th most dangerous area. Russia’s high militarization leads to its place on the list along with one of the highest rates of arms exports per capita. It has a level 2 travel warning from the U.S. Department of State to show greater vigilance in visiting Russia than the other countries on this list. Russia is vulnerable to transnational, local, and militant terrorist groups. Russian authorities have also illegally arrested American citizens who might be harassed or extorted.

These dangerous countries were not regulated by the government and the lawless across vast regions, “the severe danger of terrorist assaults by armed gangs aimed at travelers and foreign workers,” and the government and transport departments, which are not functioning at all. Nor do major parts of the countries, through study, are inaccessible to foreigners.
