Top 7 Safest Countries in The World If WW3 Breaks Out

War is considered the last resort for any disagreements when no solutions can be achieved. It may not be effective however when ones are not able to achieve some accord then war will definitely let loose. 

Behind every war whether it ends victorious or defeat, the damages it will deal will be immense and the ones to suffer will not just be the military but also innocent citizens.

The tension between the United States of America and North Korea has already caused worries among the people of the world. Some even questioned whether this will be the precursor to World War III to happen. 

One thing is for sure it will be much more catastrophic when compared to World War II as we are looking into nuclear technologies as the main arsenal. If it really were to happen, where would you hide or even go to seek shelter and wait for it all out?

Here are the top 7 safest countries in the world if WW3 breaks out.

7. Tuvalu

Tuvalu is a small island located in the Pacific Ocean and the country is so small that it is almost not seen on the world map. Not just that but it is also one of the least visited countries in the world but it is definitely a safe destination to go to if war ever broke loose.

As the 4th smallest country in the world, it is also a volcanic island and has many beautiful coral fields.  There isn't a single country willing to spend millions to invade this small island simply because there is no benefit to be gained.

Tuvalu will also be safe from any nuclear radiation with the effects of nuclear weapons use in the war. Most of the country's economies are generated from the fishery, eco-tourism, and transport. The small country also receives aid from other powerful countries around.

6. Chile

Chile itself is a huge country located on a very big continent, but more importantly, it is safe there. Countries in South America have a long beach line across the Pacific ocean. 

Chile is surrounded by Andres, the Atacama desert as well as coastal mountains. Its location which is close to Antarctica, this has made it harder for other countries to launch an attack.

5. Iceland

Iceland's positioning at the North Pole and far from Great Britain and Europe overall makes it a place far from danger. The country also has a low population and its distance from the rest of the world makes it a safe location to stay in case of World War 3.

During the second world war, Iceland was considered neutral and was not involved in the war at all. The country despite having huge mountains, glaciers, and hot lava is still stable economically.

It relies mostly on tourism, fishery, and other natural resources to build its economy. To this day, Iceland is also one of the richest countries in the world, and no worries about getting essential supplies if you live here.

Iceland is highly likely not going to be the main target during the world war. 

4. The Cook Islands

The Cook Islands or also known as Māori Kūki 'Āirani is a collection of several islands in the South Pacific Ocean. This country also operates together with New Zealand and a lot of the governing policy was made by the Cook Islands. 

Not many countries will be willing to go and attack this small island due to the high cost of getting there. The country also has a very small population and economy. 

The main source of income for the country is similar to other countries listed above but it also exports fruits and seafood to other countries. If war were to happen then this source of income is enough for the country to sustain itself.

3. Tonga

Tonga is a Polynesia country located in Oceania and comprises 169 small islands. Tonga is also a democratic country in which only 36 islands are occupied by its people. Most of the citizens live in Tongatapu.

Tongatapu is mostly protected by the laguna and limestone cliffs around it. Due to its location in the middle of the ocean, it will be hard for other countries to bomb the whole island making it a strategic place to live during a war.

No one will be willing to attack this island as it will bring no economic or political sense to them. Agriculture will be the main source of income for Tonga and it will be enough for them to live on.

2. Fiji Island

Fiji island is popular for its mountains and mesmerizing scenery and it's a small country located in the southwest of the Pacific that has as many as 332 islands. However, only 106 of them consist of people and it is 2000km away from New Zealand.

The country is also far away from great lands and other continents. These factors became the reason why it is on the top of this list as the safest country to reside in case of World War 3.

ADVERT

 

Its economies are self-sustaining ranging from tourism, fishery, and forestry and it is also rich in minerals. Running away to this isolated country is definitely proven to be safe not to mention you will survive with food too.

1. Vanuatu

Lastly will be Vanuatu which is also an island that has 80 small islands across 1300 kilometers in distance. This small island country is located 1750 km due north of Australia. So you can imagine the location of it which is in the middle of nowhere.

Despite the country having an influence during World War 2, it is still safe to live in and the Vanuatu Island remains unaffected similar to many wars to come.

If a bomb was to be dropped by Australia or even the United States of America, it will not compromise the country in any way due to its far distance of 11,000km from the US. Therefore it will be a safe place for any refugee to stay and wait for it all out.
