5Costa Rica

Why it’s safe: No military, stable democracy, and a peace-focused culture.

Costa Rica abolished its military in 1948 and has since invested in education, healthcare, and environmental preservation. It has long maintained neutrality and peaceful foreign relations, staying out of global conflicts. Its tropical climate, fertile soil, and access to both Pacific and Caribbean coasts also make it ideal for long-term sustainability.
