Why: Korea never attacked neighbouring nations. Korea is definately the most peacefull nation you can have on Earth.
The divide between North and South Korea really goes to show you the difference between Communism and Capitalism.
I'm certainly a proponent of capitalism , however , and I'm sure more erudite posters will fill in the details for me , the North Korean set up does not represent a model for a communist society . Sure , it lacks a free market but that's about it.

Also, don't you agree that a nation that has ~1,000,000 strong army is not exactly the most peaceful nation on earth? I'd vote for Costa Rica, which has... 0 soldiers.

I was thinking India would be the most peaceful. I thought India has never invaded another country.
They've fought each other for the last 3 millenia though.
India never invading anybody else? WHAT?
Most of their neighbors at some time in history. Plus they have had a couple kerfuffles with Pakistan over the years, backed by nuclear weapons!
I believe he's saying that just because Indians have fought with other people in the area does not mean that the country of India has ever invaded anyone. If you apply the historical argument, than Pakistan has invaded China and Persia. I don't agree with this comment because Celtic said that Indians have been fighting each other for three millenia and Oldschool's response was that they haven't invaded anybody (in that 3 millenia I would assume) which means that the modern application of the comment is irrelevant.How on Earth did he say Pakistan invaded Persia and China?
yepyep, NOT most peaceful truly. But considered most peacefull in the region throuout history.
South Korea has to maintain an army of that size, considering the fact that they have a crazy northern neighbor that is still technically at war with them.
with China reformed now, NK is the very last kommunist regime isolated
