It tells US citizens not to travel to that country, usually because of risks such as armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping or wrongful detention. Canada's equivalent is "Avoid all travel" and the UK's is "advises against all travel". Some warnings apply only to parts of a country, so read the official advisory.

Is a country that is not on these lists safe?
