How were the safest countries chosen in the event of World War III?

When compiling the rating, several key criteria were taken into account:

- Neutrality - countries that traditionally do not participate in international conflicts.

- Geographical remoteness - territories remote from potential combat zones.

- Stability – political, economic and social reliability.

- Natural barriers – mountains, oceans and other natural factors that make access difficult for potential aggressors.

Top 5 countries for a safe stay

Switzerland

This European country has been known for its neutrality for over 200 years. Here, every citizen has their own bomb shelter, and developed infrastructure and strong defense make the country extremely safe. A stable economy and a self-sufficient economy allow them to withstand global crises.

New Zealand

A remote island state in the Pacific Ocean is an ideal place for those who want to avoid conflict zones. New Zealand has an autonomous economy, its own energy sources and a developed food supply system, which makes the country naturally safe.

Iceland

An island without land borders, with a low population density and strategically unattractive for any attacks. Geothermal energy and ocean resources ensure the country’s autonomy even in times of crisis.

Chile

Natural barriers in the form of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean protect the country from external threats. A stable economy and developed infrastructure make Chile a safe place to stay in case of global instability.

Bhutan

An isolated mountain state in the Himalayas that avoids external conflicts. The country is known for its philosophy of “Happiness over economic development”, which ensures a high level of social stability. Bhutan combines security with remoteness and natural isolation.

Peace, nature and a minimum of politics sometimes become the best survival strategy. If the world is on the verge of a major war again, these countries can become your “island of safety”. When planning a long trip or move, it is worth considering geographical, political and social factors that ensure maximum safety.
