More Finland Positives.
The Fund for Peace (FFP) has ranked Finland the most stable country in the world for the second consecutive year, this time placing the country in a league of its own in its Fragile States Index.
Sweden, in turn, was ranked the second most stable country in the world despite being downgraded from the “Very Sustainable” category by the American think tank. Last year, Sweden was the only country in the highest category in addition to Finland.
This year, South Sudan overtook Somalia atop the annual index as the most fragile country in the world. Meanwhile, Russia was ranked the 85th most fragile country and Finland the least, or 178th, most fragile country in the world.
The FFP annually ranks countries according to their performance across a total of 12 indicators, such as security, income inequality and political climate. This year, the Fragile States Index was published for the ninth time.

Finland
Finland is a Nordic welfare state where equality is the fundamental ideology behind education. Thanks to the brilliance of Finnish education, the country has managed to advance into a world-class knowledge society, where education is provided by 14 universities and 24 universities of applied sciences. In addition to tuition in the national languages, these higher education institutions also offer over 450 English-language programmes.
Education from the top of the world
Finland is a stable country with a fully functioning infrastructure, education system, health care services and a vibrant cultural life. Studying in Finland is therefore a safe, though quite an exotic way to acquire academic and professional experience as well as to gain personal growth.
With a population of just over five million, Finland is a spacious land with people-friendly cities; the traffic is manageable, rush hours are a rarity and the cities are designed for walking and cycling as well as driving.
