Good catch! Here's a better map:
Here is a map where all Indian nations in the United States above 100,00 people get their own countries.
This is only US tribes, though the Anishinaabe land is almost all in Canada. I can't find statistics for Canada. But I do know that there are like 200K Cree in Canada, I don't know enough about the other tribes though.
Anyway, here it is.
Most of it was German during the inter-war period

So...there is a strong correlation when Poland is the imperial power, but none when Poland is not the imperial power?
Not to mention the lack of any strong exceptions in the German-Polish map, but the strong exception in the southeast of the Polish-Ukranian map.
There was 0 reference to nethnicity in the previous post.No they weren't. Katowice and Krolewska Huta cities had a german majority, at least in the beginnings, but the rural areas around them were polish. There were areas with german majority not far from the city of Bydgoszcz, but they were pretty small.
The organization also counted gun ownership in the anti-peace category.
No wonder the US's number is so high!

Clearly a significant part of modern Poland (especially that which was part of Imperial Germany), was German in the inter-war years and only part of Poland after the war.
And yes, development may have been very similar under another power, but the difference likely wouldn't have conformed so closely to the former German border.
I'm surprised you didn't put China or Australia higher.
That was only one variable. Switzerland made the list as one of the most peaceful countries, and it's #3 in the number of guns per capita category.
Spain is towards the top - fishing quota in Spanish waters - 0 tonnes - fish caught in Spanish waters - 0 tonnes - 100% success - because there are no fish left in Spanish waters.Fishery
