Risk management firm and insurance broker Aon has just released its Terrorism And Political Violence risk map for 2013.
The news is that apparently, the U.S. is in no danger of the latter kind of disturbance.
Instead, the only risk to America is terrorism.
Meanwhile in Europe, the overall risk levels in France and Spain are actually equivalent to China and Russia, presumably on the basis of the former countries' recent, heated demonstrations protesting austerity.
And the sleepiest countries in the world? Denmark, Finland, Japan, Australia, Iceland, Uruguay and Botswana — the risk of anything happening there is negligible.

Suomen hyvinvoinnin tekijänä metsäteollisuudella on viennin arvoakin suurempi painoarvo, sillä metsäteollisuus käyttää muita aloja enemmän kotimaisia tuotantopanoksia. Keskeisin raaka-aine, puu, tulee suurelta osin kotimaasta. Metsäteollisuus ostikin vuonna 2012 kotimaasta puuta jopa 1,8 miljardilla eurolla.

I was lying awake in bed the other night,it was 02:30. I was enjoying the silence of the city of Helsinki. This was at what the British term “Pub kicking out time”. I was listening to the night birds(feather variety)chirping and passing messages, what ever they do. I did not hear any cars or voices, apart from the local Night Bus Service, hourly. There was true silence. Only the rustle of the tree leaves in the gentle breeze and the occasional movement of a wild animal. There was no shouting or screaming from drunken homeward bound late night revelers.
It was a place and time unto itself. In the morning I funnily enough received by email, a report. It was entitled “Luxembourg the worlds safest city”, Helsinki second safest city in The World.
In the annual 215 city survey, conducted by human resources consulting company Mercer. Helsinki, Finland came joint second place with Geneva, Zurich and Bern (Last three in Switzerland)Pointers that had a big influence on these rankings, included: Politically stable countries with good international relations and sustainable economic growth and Personal safety and security.
I for one find some confirmation of what I already have seen and believed for a long time. The city is kept spotlessly clean, the Helsinki Public Transport runs predictably and on time. The Helsinki City Police keep a low profile while maintaining safety for inhabitants and visitors to The City(This applies equally well throughout the country) The Health care system is, I believe second to none and the Finns are helpful in a second/third language(English)and polite.
There are of course safety measures that are wise to take where ever you may be traveling.
Follows a list of safety when traveling abroad:
* Do not keep large amounts of cash with you and aim to conceal money in public.
