I remember hearing (probably apocryphal) of a chap in America in the thirties, who figured a war was inevitable. He studied all the variables of the various nations, and moved his family to what he calculated was the safest place. They moved to the Solomon Islands, or to be more specific, Guadalcanal.
Herod: I long ago heard a similar story but the chap was alleged to have moved to the Falkland Islands in the late 1970s to avoid the threat of nuclear war between USA & USSR.
