    Peaceful and safest? It’s Iceland. For 14 years in a row as of 2024. It is also one of the most homogeneous and isolated.

    New Zealand. Far enough away from the world for it not to be cared for.

    Has Australia as a buffer for stupidity.

    Can’t be found on any good world map.

    Is enough timezones ahead of everyone else to have forewarning about any shitstorm happening.

      There’s a reason billionaires are building their doomsday bunkers there.

      And probably why Maori culture survived as long as it has.

      New Zealand, an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, has no bordering countries. It lies over 1,500 km east of Australia across the Tasman Sea, with the Pacific Ocean stretching indefinitely to the north, east, and south. The total land area of the country encompasses approximately 268,021 km2 (103,483 mi2).

      I’m from New Zealand, and although it does have much to recommend it, it does have some issues with crime, gangs, meth etc. similar to other Western countries. Nowhere near as bad as South Africa or a number of US cities, but not great either. There are more peaceful places believe it or not

        Introverted? I thought all English speaking countries were on the introverted, occasionally loud, spectrum.

        Source: an introverted Brazilian that could pass as extroverted in Australia.

    Saw a movie many years ago about…Taiwan, I think. The people were worried about hurting the WORMS when building a temple.

    So I would say Taiwan if you mean “not bellicose”. Or do you mean serene?

      Agreed. Sometimes I imagine living in Montreal where I can learn French there and because of the National Film Board located over there. Sometimes I want to be American instead.

      It just depends on where I feel like living in.

    Portugal.

    We’ve been doing our own thing since 1143. People are mostly nice, crime is very low, most social unrest culminates in barbecues instead of burning vehicles, like is usual in France or Spain.

    Japan has to be a strong contender, if you are looking for peacefulness in your day to day life

      peacefulness in your day to day life

      Social pressure is so intense that people rather kill themselves than do anything out of the ordinary… Do not confuse conformity with peace.

        Not in my experience there. It the only place I have ever been where you can be in a gas station/ convenience store late on a Saturday night in a less than flash area, and see a guy rock up dressed like Liberace and do his shopping and flounce off without anyone even batting an eyelid let alone commenting. You wouldnt try that here. Yes, there is a degree of conformity enforced there around behaviour by social pressure, but in other places it is by violence
