The 10 safest countries if World War THREE breaks out<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un is said to be preparing another ballistic missile test.<\/span><\/p>\n

This has sparked fears of World War 3 breaking out if the North Korean leader decides to put his missiles into effect \u2013 especially given his conflict with US President Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an event of war, some are forced to move to different countries to avoid getting caught up in the action.<\/span><\/p>\n

The map below shows the safest countries to go to, according to the Global Peace Index.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada ranks 8 out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

It maintained the same spot on the list from last year, with a score of 1.1 out of 5 for domestic and international conflict (the lower the better, in this case).<\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark<\/span><\/p>\n

While Denmark might suffer in a European conflict because of its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation status, it contains the remote, non politically aligned region of Greenland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iceland<\/span><\/p>\n

Geographically, Iceland shares no bother with any of the world\u2019s countries, meaning its location could help keep it out of the action during a world war crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coupled with its global peace index score of 1, Iceland\u2019s location and historic peace is why it is one of the safest prospective countries in the event of WW3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming in at tenth place, Japan just manages to sneak into the Global Peace Index 2017\u2019s top 10 most peaceful countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the factors of militarisation, society & security and domestic & internal conflict, Japan is scored 1.4 out of 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, after North Korea launched test missiles over the country earlier this year, it is likely it may drop in rank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Czech Republic<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike an increasing number of European countries, Czech Republic has no recent history of terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has an impressive ranking of six on the Global Peace Index.<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria ranks 4th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its conflict, militarisation and society & security scores are all below 1.5 out of 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Slovenia<\/span><\/p>\n

Slovenia remained neutral through both World War I and World War II, so is not entangled in any historic conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also growing its thermal, solar and hydroelectric power sources, meaning it would not rely on energy from abroad during an international crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Zealand<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Slovenia, self sufficient New Zealand would also be able to cope if cut off from energy resources such as oil, coal and food imports, as it gets over 50 per cent of its electricity from hydro-electric power and has a fertile landscape for growing crops.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also holds a secluded location, keeping it far from the action were a world war to break out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portugal<\/span><\/p>\n

This country ranks third out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portugal also has a stable democracy, under Ant\u00f3nio Costa.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was officially neutral during World War II, and has kept out of foreign conflicts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Switzerland<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for its neutrality during World War II, Switzerland is protected from bordering countries Germany, France and Italy by the mountains that surround it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is in the top 10 ranking of the Global Peace Index Score, coming in ninth place.<\/span><\/p>\n
