I heard Null Island is pretty peaceful.
But that's probably because it's just a buoy.

We were. But now number one Gun crime country in Europe. Woohoo!
Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, Singapore, Portugal, Slovenia, Japan, Switzerland, Canada
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.
Definitely! Iceland is a good country.
No one's said Canada yet? It's probably Canada.
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.
I think Danmark is a good candidate.
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
So they are too stiff to even make comments ;-)
You would have such freedom here in my region as well.
the work life balance in Japan is pretty fucked up, isn't it?
It depends on who you work for and what industry you're in, but it is not as bad as it used to be. Have friends that worked in Japan
Can't be violent if you're busy working or too tired after work...
Pitcairn
I haven't heard anything crazy going on Sealand.
but it's not a place I would dream of going either.
Sealand actually has actually been involved in some crazy shit during its history.
Particularly if you want to look at stuff per capita
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?
I don’t know.

Greenland
San Marino, or as ancient Rome called it, "YOU DID WHAT‽"
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.
Colonizes all continents on earth, perpetrated the biggest slave trade in history, only decolonizes well after WW2 literally the last country on earth to do so
“Just doing our own thing” lmao
~~1143~~ 1822 😅
Que bom! (How nice!)
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.
Source: an introverted Brazilian that could pass as extroverted in Australia.
Honestly I dont know but I'd imagine somewhere like South Korea if I had to choose.
South Korea is literally cyberpunk hell on earth…
They're embroiled in an ongoing civil war! Or, well, civil stalemate.
And they have mandatory military service if I'm not mistaken.
Racing Japan for the title of most overworked employees on Earth
And it currently has a higher suicide rate than Japan.
And lowest birthrate.
And there's nothing peaceful about StarCraft or kpop.
