Some people have become worried about the global situation and are now thinking of moving to safer places in case there is a large-scale conflict. The scientists have studied the safest places on the earth by examining various factors, like geographical isolation, political neutrality, self-sufficiency, and low probability of being a target in a war, to name a few.
The top safe countries in the event of World War 3 are mentioned below:
1. Iceland
Due to its remoteness in the North Atlantic, tiny population, and lack of geopolitical enemies, Iceland is a leading safe country in the world. Its seclusion makes it an almost impossible place to be targeted in a global conflict.
2. New Zealand
New Zealand can be mentioned as the next best place after the above one because it is far away from the main areas of the world, which are in a state of conflict, they have self-sufficient agriculture, and a stable government. It has low population density and solid infrastructure, which makes it a perfect place to go for a vacation.
3. Switzerland
Neutral status, the Swiss Alps, and the Swiss civil defense system make the peace of Switzerland almost a myth during wars. Therefore, the Swiss have always readied themselves with protective bunkers, arriving and leaving.
4. Australia
Australia’s geographic separation, robust economy, and plenty of natural resources are a combination of high security. However, militarily, it participates in some alliances, but its distance from the likely conflict areas reduces the chances of a direct attack.
5. Ireland
Due to its neutrality policy, lack of strategic military importance, and being able to supply itself mostly with food, Ireland is a very good candidate for places that are still “safe” during the period of great global turmoil.
6. Canada
Canada is a perfect example of a country that is secure but also allows it to be a safe option for those who are inspired by its vast landmass, low population density, and strong Western alliances, with the condition of being a non-primary target. Apart from that, its natural resources and stable governance are additional factors that make it a suitable place to live.
7. Denmark (Greenland)
Therefore, Greenland has it even better as it is covered in ice and has a small population with no big cities; thus s such a place is very difficult to find and occupy.
8. Fiji
It is a Pacific island that is very far away from any global disputes, and it is based on its resources and has a very peaceful political climate. Furthermore, it is also a potential hiding place from wars that involve many countries.
9. Bhutan
Bhutan is a mountainous country situated in the Himalayas. Due to its neutrality, international wars are very unlikely to be fought there as it has low geopolitical significance and strong cultural independence.
10. Chile
Chile is a South American country whose location on the continent, distance to the global powers, and obstacles like the Andes Mountains (which are the highest in the world) make it safer.
Final Thoughts
There are no countries that are fully protected from the wars that have arisen worldwide, but these countries are the ones that can give you the best potential combinations in terms of being far away, self-sufficient, and politically stable. In my opinion, moving is not an option for all people, but still, having one is very important if the situation gets worse.
