As the empirical basis for the GPI has developed, research by the IEP has found that many large countries have substantial internal variances in their levels of peacefulness. This is especially true of countries with marked social and cultural diversity combined with variable economic conditions. Analysing national peace indices provides a better understanding of the fabric of peace. If trends and statistical relations can be found between the levels of internal peacefulness of different countries, then new approaches to creating peace may emerge.
