With mountainous terrain, a strong tradition of neutrality, widespread bunkers and a heavily armed military. Switzerland has proven itself as a safe haven during Europe’s bloody past.

While it shares borders with Germany, France and Italy, which are all locations where nukes will be landing if World War III were to break out. Switzerland is quite protected by its surrounding mountains. People can hide in the mountains as nukes land all around them.

An island located deep within the pacific ocean, it is a very remote and neutral place. The island’s small population and resources that are not that important, means no major power will have no reason to attack Tuvalu.

Tuvalu will probably be ignored if a war was to start.
