The Top Three Safest Countries in the World
A safe country isn’t necessarily one that doesn’t experience crime, but one where the crime rate is low and the citizens are mostly free from fear of physical harm or theft. The top three safest countries in the world can be found here; however, you should still exercise caution when traveling to any country, especially if you don’t know the local language or customs.
Iceland—1.1
For the thirteenth year in a row, the Nordic country topped the list. Iceland has among of the lowest military budgets and rates of interstate warfare in the world, in part because it does not share borders with any other nation. The nation also boasts Europe’s lowest imprisonment rate.
Thanks to its low crime rate, Iceland had just 11 reported incidents of rape per 100,000 people in 2015, according to data from Transnational Organized Crime.
New Zealand
In addition to surviving the COVID-19 epidemic largely unscathed, the country of the long white cloud also has almost no internal or external conflicts! Life quality, education, civil rights protection, open governance, and economic freedom all receive respectable rankings. New Zealand is one of only seven OECD countries that rank among the top 10 in these categories.
The country also has a low government debt and near-zero infant mortality rate. If you’re seeking a place to live that is free of conflict, New Zealand is your safest bet.
Denmark
An efficient government is responsible for Denmark’s high-ranking. In addition, it reports low levels of corruption, equitable distribution of resources, and women are noticeably more satisfied with their own standards of living than men.
The Danes have an excellent standard of living. As a matter of fact, it is one of only a few nations where it is possible to live very well with an income per person that is only about half of what is required for an average standard of living in other wealthy countries. This country boasts some incredibly luxurious and beautiful homes and apartments. You’ll be able to see a lot more examples if you plan on vacationing there for your next big getaway.
