Take a look at the map here:

Generally, West and North Africa have virtually no seismic activity--pick any five on the Gulf of Guinea. The Scandinavian countries are a good bet too.
Just because something is in the middle of a tectonic plate doesn't mean it's seismically/volcanically inactive--take Hawaii, for instance.
(and I hate to pick on another answer, but Iran is on the border of the Eurasian and Arabian plates--and is quite seismically active. There was a 5.3 earthquake in Iran two days ago.)

Iran has had some of the worst earthquakes in recent years.
How about Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, Cuba, and Vietnam?

Australia, India, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. They're all pretty much in the middle of a plate.

You can do a bit of trial and error by searching the countries you suspect to be less hit by earthquakes here http://earthquakedb.com/search.php
