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).

New Zealand s cloaking abilities are insane

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

As long as you dont find any odd little rings, you should be fine out there.

Ahh, New Zealand. Very similar to the rest of the English-speaking world, but introverted.

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