Cyprus Deemed World's 5th Safest Nation

The company, who centers on offering high quality resources to assist consumers' comprehension on topics that interest them, ranked Switzerland first, followed by Singapore, Spain, Japan and Cyprus.

ValuePenguin determined that the Republic of Cyprus placed 5th because, "it bested the aforementioned four cities in two categories: It ranked 21st overall in national police personnel per 100,000 people (with 466), and it ranked 22nd in thefts per 100,000 people (with 111). The number of cops in a country isn't necessarily linked to safety -- and we weighted it accordingly -- but having fewer thefts is a good sign regardless. The third island country among the top five, Cyprus had essentially been divided in two since 1974 but has been progressing toward reunification."
