	You my friend, have to the most straight-forward, hilarious and awesome quiz titles in all of Sporcle. I especially like the lack of exclamation marks on the more serious/depressing topics. Well done, once again.

	Accept Ivory Coast and CAR. Also, you have Belize on there twice. Good quiz, though.

	Well, my illusions about Caribbean island paradises have been thoroughly shattered.

	I wonder what the responses would be to Suicide! and Murder! Anyway, yeah, the Caribbean is great as a tourist industry, but go inland and it's usually hell. Especially considering the ease with which drugs can be transported from island to island to bypass the Mexican border.

	I know it's not "murder," per se, but I find it hard to believe Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are so low. I guess when you're stoning your wife because you cheated on her and she wants a divorce, that's not really murder by UN standards...

	Well tijngommans thats what you get for buying into everything the US-hating liberal media says. Just to let you know, in 2008 the US rate was 5.4. At least you were close, though.

	hahaa i wasnt expecting vatican to have any ever

	sbelkoski:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 23:26 GMT	3 points
	@pobox37 That's because you haven't read the Angels and Demons and the rest of the books in the Vatican conspiracy genre.

	It's funny how quite a few of the countries in here also feature in your Happiness quiz (perhaps they die laughing)

	So, I take it one person got offed in the Vatican in 1998?

	My mother's from the Bahamas. I can confirm that tourists only see the really nice sections that are reserved for white Americans/Canadians/Germans/British/Australians. But at the same time, their population is ridiculously low (hence the rate inflation), and almost all of the murders there occur due to conflicts within the Haitian refugee community. Go figure.

	Great quiz, brilliant bonus.
