5 Safest Countries To Visit For US Citizens

4. New Zealand

Global Peace Index: 1.313

New Zealand, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean southeast of Australia, is infused with both British and Polynesian influences, creating a picturesque setting. According to the Global Peace Index, New Zealand is ranked as the fourth-safest country to live in the world, scoring 1.313 out of 5. Although it has slipped from the second position since last year, the country maintains its safety with a stable government, a robust economy, and a peaceful culture that encourages diversity and equality. Notably, New Zealand’s low population density, with only 5.1 million inhabitants, contributes to its overall safety.
