I'm not sure that their concept of stability has much to do with safety for travelers. E.g., I've heard that Iran is a very safe place for tourists, not withstanding recent political events. Whereas South Africa has all sorts of street crime. Yet they say South Africa is more stable. I know people who've visited Laos and Georgia, and I would be much more comfortable in the former than the latter, but that's not their order.
