While Ukraine introduces martial law in connection with the incident in the Kerch Strait, the world wonders: what will happen now? Will it come to an open military confrontation?
Just in case, the British Express was a list of countries of refuge where you can safely sit out the Third World War... Well, theoretically safe. Indeed, in the event of a global confrontation, the safest place may be in Antarctica with its zero crime and the absence of military bases.
4. Iceland
According to the British, this secluded and remote island will become one of the safest places on Earth during the Russian-Ukrainian military confrontation. It already had a neutral status during the Second World War. However, this did not stop the British from invading Iceland in 1940.
Like the third most expensive country in the world, Iceland is ranked as one of the most expensive countries in the world. But it has an extremely low crime rate (with only 700 police officers per 300,000 population), and there are no serial killers and maniacs. Moreover, there is no standing army in the country. This makes Iceland stand out from the list of other NATO member states.
At the same time, Iceland has a military agreement with Norway and Denmark, and also has its own coast guard.
3. Luxembourg
Like Iceland, Luxembourg ranks among the safest countries in the world. If crimes are committed there, then minor ones.
Also Luxembourg is in the top ten countries with the lowest levels of corruption... Perfectly developed medicine and modern infrastructure make this miniature country a very attractive place to live during any military conflict. However, Luxembourg was captured during both world wars, despite its neutral status.
2. Greenland
The largest island in the world It has the lowest population density per square meter - 0.028 / km 2. A little more than 57 thousand people live there. Of course, in the event of World War III, the population in Greenland will increase.
In the meantime, there is almost no crime, and tourists rarely visit. And what to do there if it's cold and there isn't much to see?
1. Liechtenstein
Here it is, the safest country of refuge in the event of World War III, according to Express. We will keep silent about what might happen to this small German-speaking principality if Europe is swept away by a nuclear explosion, and let's talk about why British experts chose it for the first place.
- First, there are many police officers.
- Secondly, the low crime rate.
- Thirdly, Liechtenstein is located between two traditionally neutral countries - Austria and Switzerland.
One thing is bad, to get to Liechtenstein, you have to go to Zurich first. Indeed, due to the small size of the country, it has no airports.
There is still time to calmly pack your suitcases, leave the keys to your neighbor so that she does not forget to water the flowers, and go to one of the above safe countries to a new place of residence.
