Safest

It's official folks, New Zealand is the second safest country in the western world in which to live after Norway!

Indeed crime and violent crime does still happen here but it still happens less than other countries. Our counterparts in Australia fall in at number 25. People do still leave their doors unlocked when they are out.

What does happen to the criminals here though because they sure as hell aren't put in prison for very long. It seems that a criminal can spend more time in a Mcdonald queue waiting for a hamburger than in a prison cell!

You're making me crazy. Are you SURE there's nothing we can do about this Christmas in summertime thing you got going on down there? Otherwise you make it all sound very appealing.

Putting people behind bars seems not to be the greatest solution for crime. Norway doesn't do, New Zealand either. Congrats! I think we all have to learn something from you!
All the best!

I would SO rather live in NZ than Norway. I mean, if you are gonna live in a country with fjords- then I choose South Island.
