Iceland best nation on earth for human development

Not only did Iceland win the laurels for being the most peaceful nation on earth. They also were ranked number one worldwide on the human development index in 2007. That year Canada came fourth. But Canada to its credit have been ranked highest in the world more often than any other nation, scoring highest marks every year the survey was conducted between 1985 and 2000 except 1993 and 1991 when Japan took top honours.
