If I recall correctly, there was this one guy who saw the WW2 coming, and he decided to get away from the possible battleground as far as he could, so he moved to a remote pacific island. I think it was Iwo Jima or Midway or something like that but I'm not 100% sure which one.

Actually, you have a good point. After 7 days in Nevis I was getting a little stir crazy, and missed the real world. There are only so many palm trees and perfect beaches you can handle

Iceland was my thought as well, but if those volcanoes suddenly decide to cause mayhem again then that island is fucked. So prolly Switzerland.
Iceland is a big geothermic pimple on the Earth's forehead. Very unstable. And Switzerland has its fair share of earthquakes, although they're usually just in the mountains and they're not too big. (But then they cause avalanches...another problem.)

Have you ever seen Bowling for Columbine? Moore shows a list of countries with low murder rates of guns. Canada was on there but i forget what the number is.
Also Montreal, like someone already suggested, has a low crime rate as well. People don't lock their doors there

Might want to try Grand Cayaman, they have a capitol city which rivals the wealth of New York. Of course, they have to rebuild there New York every summer because of those damn hurricanes. But a little bit of excitment is a good thing, right?

Guess there isn't any place in the world that is truly "safe." Have to choose the lesser of the evils.
What about Australia? I've known a few ppl to go there and they loved it. They seem to be out of most world-political crises and not many natural disasters depending on where in the country you are I guess.

New Zealand. I've never been, but I've heard it's incredible. Who knows, you might run into Frodo down there.

Yes.. perhaps digging a hole and living as a Hobbit is the best choice.
