Cox and Kings
10. Switzerland
Famous for its neutrality, Switzerland is tucked away among the valleys of the Alps which make it a safe bet, despite having a high number of bordering nations. It helps that neighboring Austria is also considered a neutral nation.
9. Costa Rica
Costa Rica has a stable democracy, a disbanded military and a national policy of neutrality.
8. Papua New Guinea
The canopy covered, mountainous nation contains some of the most isolated places in the world. In fact, there are regions of Papua New Guinea that are still being discovered for the first time.
7. Canada
The second largest nation in the world, Canada only shares a land border with one other country – the U.S.A. – and it is a peaceful border.
6. Seychelles
Aside from being safely isolated from the rest of the world in the middle of the Indian Ocean, this beautiful island nation is a great place to forget about your worries.
5. Finland
Finland has a long history of desiring to stay out of international conflicts, is recognized as neutral and always ranks in the top 10 of the Global Peace Index.
4. Tuvalu
Isolated in the middle of Micronesia, Tuvalu is among the safest and most remote places in the world. It is the third least populated country on Earth, and the fourth smallest.
3. Iceland
With no borders, remote locations, stability as a country and virtually no world enemies, Iceland's people are happy and the nation always ranks highly on the Global Peace Index.
2. Bhutan
Landlocked among the Himalaya mountains, Bhutan is one of the most isolated nations in the world. It also showcases one of the most stable balances in the world between modernization and retention of ancient culture. Its religious population believes in peaceful resolution to all conflict, and although it sits in a troubled region, it remains protected by its geography.
1. New Zealand
Possibly the most isolated and expansive fully developed nation in the world, New Zealand shares no borders, sits relatively distant from any other nation, has no real national enemies, has a safe democracy and a diverse landscape with many remote places to hide away within.
