I live here. If you were in Iceland like me, you'd watch all this chaos like a show instead of being a victim of it.

This should be number one because it's actually a fact that it is well known for being the safest.

2 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 Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard... read more

I can tell you that this is probably the safest country in the world. Everyone here is homogenous, and Norway has an extremely low poverty rate. When no one wants to kill each other because of race or religion and when everyone has enough money, crime is extremely low. Hence, Norway is one of, if not the safest, countries on Earth.

Norway is indeed one of the safest places in the world to live. Crime and poverty are almost non-existent. The rural and urban areas in Norway are magnificent and peaceful. Norway has several good qualities that make it a truly safe country to live in.

3 Canada Canada is a country in North America that is next to the United States, and it's the 2nd largest country in the world by area (size is 9.985 million km²).

Canada is a beautiful and safe country. The crime rate is very low, the climate is mild (at least in southern areas), and the healthcare, education, and economy are strong! I would argue that it's one of the best places in the world to live.

Vandalism here is low, but on a bathroom stall, someone wrote, "Have a nice day!" People are so nice here! It's also a beautiful country with lots of wildlife that coexists freely with humanity. I wish the USA were like this.

Canada is an amazing place to live! The food resources, education, and people are just wonderful. You should definitely live in Canada!

4 Switzerland Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a federal republic in Europe. It consists of 26 cantons, and the city of Bern is the seat of the federal authorities... read more
