7 Safest Countries During World War III, Indonesia on the List?

YOGYAKARTA - Global geopolitical tensions are increasing after the United States has clashed with a number of countries, ranging from Iran in the Middle East to the issue of "annexation" of Greenland. This condition raises concerns about the occurrence of a major disaster that will befall the world, namely World War III.

Quoted from The Economic Times website, there are several countries that are considered the safest if World War III really happens. This assessment is based on factors of political neutrality, geographical isolation, and minimal involvement in global conflicts.

The following is a list of countries that are considered the safest during World War III:

Located far in the South Pacific, New Zealand is relatively isolated from the world's conflict centers. The country tends to avoid direct military involvement despite having extensive diplomatic relations. Its high ranking in the Global Peace Index and mountainous natural conditions make it one of the safest regions in the world.

Iceland has a remote geographical position in the North Atlantic and minimal global strategic interests. The country is known to be peaceful and has no history of major wars.

As an island nation, Iceland is relatively protected from land conflicts in Europe, although it still has the potential to be indirectly affected.

Indonesia is known to consistently carry out "free and active" foreign policy since the era of President Soekarno.

As a large archipelago country that does not side with any particular global power, Indonesia seeks to maintain distance from international conflicts and actively promotes world peace.

This attitude makes Indonesia often considered relatively neutral in global tensions.

Switzerland is known as a symbol of world neutrality. The neutral foreign policy that has been recognized since the Congress of Vienna in 1815 has kept the country out of major wars for hundreds of years.

The natural protection of the Alps, the status of a landlocked country, and thousands of nuclear protection bunkers make Switzerland very safe in the event of World War III.

Even though it is part of NATO, Norway is also considered the safest country during World War III.

Geographically, Norway has rugged terrain, a small population, and a location in the Arctic that strategically reduces the risk of direct attack.

This geographical condition plays a major role in suppressing the impact of large-scale conflicts.

Australia has the advantage of geographical isolation, low population density, and abundant natural resources. These factors make it less attractive as a target of conflict and more resilient in facing post-war conditions.

Bhutan is located in the Himalayan region and carries the philosophy of "Gross National Happiness" which emphasizes peace and balance of life.

Limited international relations have kept Bhutan out of geopolitical conflicts. The mountainous terrain also provides strong natural protection.
