Supplementary notes

The index estimates the level of political stability and absence of violence and terrorism in a country based on the probability that political instability, politically-motivated violence, and terrorism are to occur. Countries are ranked on a scale from around minus 2.5 to 2.5, with a higher score indicating more political stability.

Citation formats

The British Crown Dependency of Jersey was ranked as the most politically stable country worldwide in 2023, ahead of the Cayman Islands and Liechtenstein. The Caribbean Islands are known for their favorable conditions for large international companies and wealthy individuals, with no income and fortune tax.

Lowest stability in Syria

On the other end of the scale, Syria had the lowest political stability. The Middle Eastern-country suffered from a civil war between 2012 and 2024, with the Syrian government battling a range of military groups, including the terrorist organization Islamic State.

Fragile State Index

Another way of measuring political stability is the Fragile States Index, compiled annually by the Fund for Peace. In 2024, Somalia was ranked as the most fragile state ahead of Sudan. The index measures state fragility on a range of economic, social, and political indicators.
