Top 10 Best Countries to Live in If There Were a Zombie Apocalypse

The top ten best countries you'd want to be in if there were zombies after your flesh.

The Top Ten

Canada

Canada is a country in North America that borders the United States, and it is the second-largest country in the world by area (9.985 million km²). The country has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Canada became a dominion on July 1, 1867.... read more

While I hope that a zombie apocalypse never happens, Canada could be a good place to live in such a scenario for a few reasons. First, Canada has a relatively low population density, which could make it easier to avoid large numbers of zombies.
Additionally, Canada has a lot of natural resources, including fresh water and farmland, which could help people survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Finally, Canada has a reputation for being friendly and welcoming, which could make it easier for survivors to band together and work towards a common goal.

Just about every zombie novel says that they really slow down or stop in the cold. Best to be someplace where it is below freezing at least half the year and never really gets above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Greenland

Greenland is an island country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Greenland is the world's largest island and one of the three constituent countries of the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside Denmark and the... read more

So isolated and cold, no zombies could get to you. Oh, and the guy who said Greenland touches Antarctica is on the wrong side of the planet. It touches the Arctic.

I would definitely go there since there are not a lot of people there, and zombies? They would simply die of freezing to death.
Australia

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and... read more

We're surrounded by thousands of miles of ocean from the nearest continental nation. We can feed ourselves due to our huge farming industry, there's really low population density, and the zombies' decaying skin would rot away in the heat of an Aussie summer.
Furthermore, due to our rich economy and large supply of natural resources, we could be the safe zone where surviving armies from around the world could amass and plan out how to liberate the human race, country by country.
P.S. We've got magpies. You don't know the true meaning of terrifying until you've seen an angry magpie...

Not very dense, an island country, plus it's a wealthy country, so the government would be able to do a lot to help.
United States

The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states. Forty-eight of them are contiguous states. The other two, Alaska and Hawaii, are located to the northwest and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from... read more

Number 10? That's funny, given the U.S. is the only country on this list where you'd have the means to defend yourself.

I think it is pretty protected since there are many military bases around the area.

We would gun them down before 100,000 Americans die.
Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean and the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Its capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with surrounding municipalities) is home to over 65% of the country's population. Iceland is the only part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge... read more

Island far from any neighbor. Renewable energy. Plentiful fishing. Excess heat from renewable energy used for greenhouses. Volcanic soil - highly fertile. Thermal springs - because everyone needs to relax in a zombie apocalypse.
Morocco

Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is the northwesternmost country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and has land borders with Algeria to the east and the disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south.... read more

I'd feel a lot safer here than in just about any other country in the North African region.

Has more mountains than any other Saharan country, so you're probably already saved if you live here.
New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
It is situated 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington... read more

It is an island with a Mediterranean climate. It has very little population compared to its size. It's not too cold to survive there in winter, and it's good for growing your own food and breeding animals.

New Zealand is a safe country. It's surrounded by only ocean, and it's very unlikely for a zombie apocalypse to happen.
Norway

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula, plus the island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard.... read more

Norway's modern and developed systems make it a safe country from any zombie apocalypse.
Mongolia

Mongolia is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent to the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south.... read more

Lowest population density in the world.
China

China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's second-most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion people. China spans five geographical time zones and shares land borders with 14 countries, second only to Russia in the number of neighboring... read more

The Newcomers

?
Namibia

Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia, is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. Its capital city is Windhoek. It shares borders with Angola to the north, South Africa to the south, and Botswana to the east.

This should be way higher. Hardly anyone lives there compared to most other countries in Africa, so there would be hardly any zombies coming after you.

Second lowest population density in the world.

Nobody lives in those deserts, and its hot enough to be a struggle for walkers
?
North Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in Eastern Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is currently ruled by the Juche leader Kim Jong-Un, who inherited the title from his father, Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited it from his father, Kim Il-Sung.... read more

It's either North Korea or Bahrain for me. North Korea has walls surrounding many of its borders, with troops usually lined up on them who would, in turn, be able to hold off any zombies trying to get in.

The Contenders

Russia

Russia, or the Russian Federation (RF), is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass.... read more
Greece

Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country in Southeast Europe. It is situated on the southern tip of the Balkans and is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Greece shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, North Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey... read more

Greece has 6,000 islands, of which only 227 are inhabited. And it has Crete, which is like an island Texas with lots of guns.

Safer than the rest of Eastern Europe for sure.
Sweden

Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe.
It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest... read more
Finland

Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. It shares land borders with Sweden to the northwest, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east, with the Gulf of Bothnia to the west and the Gulf of Finland across from Estonia to the south. Finland covers an area... read more
Argentina

Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in the southern half of South America. Argentina covers an area of 2,780,400 km² (1,073,500 sq mi), making it the second-largest country in South America after Brazil, the fourth-largest country in the Americas, and the eighth-largest country... read more

Plenty of open farmland to help prepare you for such a catastrophe. Probably the safest country in all of South America in the wake of such an event.
Ireland

Formed as a republic in 1922 following the Irish War of Independence, Ireland is a small country with a population of roughly 5 million.

This would easily be the safest country in all of Europe to live in during a zombie apocalypse, aside from Iceland.

Island. Plenty of fishing. Potential to ramp up renewables to be 100% self-sufficient. Plenty of arable land. Low population density.
Chile

Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in the western part of South America. It is the southernmost country in the world and the closest to Antarctica, occupying a long and narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Chile covers an area of 756,096... read more

Much like Namibia, its desert would be a great place to kill all those zombies on sight.
Japan

Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland (east of China, Korea, and Russia) and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.... read more

If the apocalypse starts in Japan, it might be problematic, but if it starts everywhere else, Japan is safe.

Earthquakes would do the trick.
Mauritania

Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest.... read more
Mauritius

Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, about 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of the African continent.

It's very unlikely for zombies to make their way to Mauritius.
France

France, officially the French Republic, is a sovereign state comprising territory in Western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to... read more

They have a ton of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Tahiti is perfect because it has a high vantage point and is isolated.

Châteaux with moats. Plenty of isolated islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The majority of energy is nuclear. Wine. Fall-back line to the Pyrenees if overrun by zombies. (Hopefully, the Spanish help.)
Mexico

Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America. The country is situated between the U.S. and Central America, and is known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches and its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts, and jungles.
Fiji

Fiji, officially the Republic of Fiji, is an island country in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles northeast of New Zealand's North Island. The country consists of more than 330 islands, of which about 110 are permanently inhabited. Suva, located on the island of Viti Levu... read more

Small island, small population density.
Micronesia

Zombies burn in hotter temperatures. It is a small island, so you will not need too many rotten spider eyes and golden apples to cure any. Sustainable agriculture.

So remote that there's practically no way zombies could get you there.

Definitely want to pick a small island. Then you only have to kill a limited number of them. No real chance to survive bigger countries. They will find you en masse and destroy you.
Nepal

Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a sovereign state located in South Asia.
It is home to the famous Gurkhas, whose name comes from a small district in Nepal called Gorkha. The name Gorkha came from the legendary Indian sage Gorakhnath, who spent the later part of his... read more

Hopefully, you're good at climbing mountains!
