There are lots of countries that do not have volcanoes, some of them include: South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Djibouti, Somalia, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Liberia, Denmark, Norway, Wales, Finland, Sweden, Ireland...
These countries, as well as the rest that lack volcanoes are all countries that are not lying above collision or submersion lines between the tectonic plates, nor have a hot spot beneath them, which is where the volcanoes appear. The best known is the 'Ring of Fire' in the Pacific, where most of the active volcanoes are.

Several countries lack volcanoes due to their location on stable tectonic plates, away from plate boundaries and hot spots. Examples include South Africa, Nigeria, and Sweden, among others. These countries are not affected by tectonic movements that typically lead to volcanic activity.
