Remote can exist practically anywhere.

My in-laws retired and moved to France, in the rural south. It is eerily quiet because no traffic goes near their house, and they are 30 mins drive from anything like civilization. They do have a small restaurant (that loves putting froe grais on everything), a hairdressers, a travelling doctor, and (weirdly) a bowling alley that doubles up as the local bar and a place to buy stuff - all for less than a hundred people.

You can get really remote in the UK too. Some parts of England are 30 mins from anything like civilization. Some parts of Scotland are only accessible once a day by boat, and if you go really up north you find wooded areas where people die because you're surrounded by miles of nondescript woodland.

Live in Estonia. Went on a bicycle trek once. "Hmm, I've barely seen any cars today. Like even on asphalt roads."

Second biggest city in Estonia was 25 km away. It wasn't even a remote location and there was just nobody around

I remember reading a news story about a group of hikers who'd accidentally got off the last train at this station: https://www.osmap.nl/#15/56.7603/-4.6888
