Who are Quietest Countries on Earth?

I am taking about countries you almost never hear about, who haven't been in the news for anything good or bad in the last 10 years. And who have not done or said anything that was controversial (And especially getting notice from larger countries like U.S, France, Russia and U.K when they do or say something controversial) and who haven't gotten the population up in arms for something they said?

I am not talking about the Isolated ones like North Korea.

Bhutan. They only a few years ago allowed TV. Very few people own a car.

Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Most people on this planet don't even know these countries exist.

Kyrgyzstan had a revolution not to long ago and just got accepted in the EEU and Tajikistan is thinking about it too, so they have been on the news. Turkmenistan is only known for a possible pipeline that will connect it to Azerbaijan so Turkministan is probably the quietest of the three. I would say that any island nation in the pacific, Indian and Caribbean are pretty quiet as well as Paraguay and Uruguay. Also Andorra and Lichtenstein are never on the news. Besides Climate change Greenland is never talked about. Even though Africa has a lot of news worthy events going on, it seams that the only African countries on the news are Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somolia, Kenya, South Africa, and maybe a few more, but other than that they get all lumped into the label "Africa"
