I don't think the peace prize should be counted if one is writing on countries with the "best brains". My understanding is that people who win the peace prize are usually ones fighting an oppressive regime, which is commendable, but not a huge intellectual feat.

On the contrary, it is quite an intellectual feat to lead a large group of people against a powerful oppressive regime. It gets quite difficult as the organization grows and everyone has their own agenda.
