Formosa is friendly country for sure.

Georgia <3

This is a awesome list. I am canadian and have lived in both Norway and Taiwan. All three countries are wonderful and I always felt very safe in each location!

Foreigners are safe and respected in Taiwan if and only if YOU ARE WHITE.

This is a fucking CIA outfit.

Norway: “This nation can be a best option to start peaceful life as it does not have the threat of terrorism”. Uh, Anders Breivik anyone? 77 people killed in an act of terrorism – that was 2011 in Oslo/on Utoya. That’s not to say Norway isn’t safe (it is), but its a embarrassing oversight by the author.
PS. “can be a best option” should be “is a good option/could be the best option”, indefinite article (a) cannot go with a definite object (there is only ONE best option).

There is absolutely no doubt and no room for discussion that Taiwan is indeed an independent, sovereign nation. I myself call it ‘The democratic Republic of Taiwan’. And there is a reason for it; although Communist China claims Taiwan as part of their territory, Taiwan has however never ever belonged to the People’s Republic of China. Never. The last time Taiwan was part of China was when China was still an empire with an emperor – an era which ended in 1911, as we all know. But from 1895 and through to 1945 the island was a colony of Japan, who took over the island after a war with China. Then, in 1949, four years after the defeat of the Japanese in the Pacific and the handover of Taiwan to the Republic of China by the Allies, the Kuomintang dictator, Chiang Kai-shek, fled with all his troops to Taiwan, where he established a four-decade long terror regime, naming the island ‘The Republic of China’, without asking the original population for permission, mind you. He just invaded the island, following his own defeat to Mao’s communists.
His dictatorship lasted until the late 1980s, more than a decade after his own death, when the period of martial law finally saw its close. And since the early 1990s Taiwan has gradually developed into a fully functional democracy, with free speech, free elections, a free press, and freedom of expression – all characteristics, so unlike the situation in authoritarian Communist China, as anything can ever be.
At the same time, though, it is worth noticing that China opened up its economy to the world, only after observing how well Taiwan and Japan and South Korea did financially in their own markets, due to exchanges and trade internationally. China didn’t want to lag behind – or rather, the Communist Party suddenly started fearing how a looming financial crisis domestically might result in civil unrest within the Chinese population, thus leading to a threat to their dictatorial grip on power.
China has indeed done well themselves since then. So, one might argue that while prosperity in a democratic society will inevitably benefit all its members, in the shape of social welfare, social equality, and strong currencies, the economic rising of China over the past couple of decades has benefited only the Party who stays in power, despite the fact their economy is now the 2nd biggest in the world.
Nonetheless, this newly acquired might of Communist China has led them to believe they are in control of everything. They have long since bought the silence of the entire free world, through their endless investing in all other countries around the globe. We fear them, but for no reason: We are the ones, having given them this opportunity to thrive. The fault is ours to bear.
The methods Communist China makes use of to have things their way, are threats, intimidation, and luring. They get downright hysterical and start shouting if facing just the slightest opposition. They simply do not understand the mechanics of pluralism and free debate and democracy. And when it comes to the issue of Taiwan they have sadly succeeded in fooling the world into believing it is part of their domain. Which it is not! No more than Norway is part of Denmark (which it actually was until 1814). Money and corruption and lobbying are their weapons; but it alters in no way the fact that Taiwan is a free country! It never has been a part of the People’s Republic, as China appears today. Nor shall it ever be …
Full stop!

You forgot UAE

I agree about Georgia is one of the safest countries. I lived in Russia for 20 years, the country where you afraid to be robed in bus or get violence from random person. That is why in Russia most people afraid to stop and help someone who asked, people afraid being faced in problems. In Georgia people are polite and frendly, they always help you in any case, there is no need to travel in bus hugging your handbag because of theft. Love this country and its people kindness.

Hawaii should go on the list.

Canada is #7 because of there location to the USA and they are like the little brother that are protected by the location of the USA.

Taiwan is not only a safe but a friendly country, good for living and traveling.

How proud of us. As a Taiwaness

So proud of my sweat home country where live the earnest and enthusiastic people. By only 1.5-2 hours driving, we can reach either mountain or seashore, plenty of amazing nature resource. Clean, safe, convenient for tourists.

Interesting presentation.Love it…

GEORGIA is not safe!!!

I live in Georgia, here you can get killed by drunk drivers, by police, by construction workers who smoke next to propane tanks, or simply just eating unchecked food bought from supermarket… there is no such thing as safety regulations… most people prefer to take risks rather than be safe. nobody wears seat belts unless they see a police coming, nobody keeps extinguishers at home or in the car, no one wears a helmet on constructions… you can get eaten by stray dogs, or stabbed by recently released 13000 prisoners

Although the disaster happened in Japan, if you visit and stay in Japan, you can tell why Japan has been the No.1 safest country for a long time.
