Germany and Switzerland seems like a good choice.

There's actually a strong cooperation going on between the BND (German foreign intelligence service) and the NSA, with the NSA praising the BND as key partners and other fancy things. [1]

So sadly, there isn't truly any "safe" country out there for hosting your data... Sweden's military tends to track all border-crossing network connections, the BND seems to be listening at DE-CIX... Also, I'm sure that Switzerland routes their data through some internet exchange node that some NSA-friendly intelligence agency listens at.

In terms of data protection laws & how much access to your actual servers the authorities get, I believe that German & Swiss laws are quite good though.

Or wherever The Pirate Bay or Wikileaks or others of their ilk host their servers I would imagine. Sweden[1] it seems?

"According to Assange, Switzerland and Iceland are the only countries where WikiLeaks would be safe to operate."

I wouldn't be too sure about Germany at all. Switzerland because of it's historic neutrality and rule of law makes sense.

Iceland is too small and I bet most of its trafic goes via US or UK. Germany has strong privacy protection laws thanks to its history.
