    New Zealand. Far enough away from the world for it not to be cared for.

    Has Australia as a buffer for stupidity.

    Can’t be found on any good world map.

    Is enough timezones ahead of everyone else to have forewarning about any shitstorm happening.

      Ahh, New Zealand. Very similar to the rest of the English-speaking world, but introverted.

        Introverted? I thought all English speaking countries were on the introverted, occasionally loud, spectrum.

        Source: an introverted Brazilian that could pass as extroverted in Australia.

      I’m from New Zealand, and although it does have much to recommend it, it does have some issues with crime, gangs, meth etc. similar to other Western countries. Nowhere near as bad as South Africa or a number of US cities, but not great either. There are more peaceful places believe it or not
