I think you're over estimating how friendly other cultures are to outsiders. There are numerous, numerous cases of greed and ambition leading to the slaughter and enslavement of native peoples by invaders/conquerors. There are also multiple states in the USA where you'd be within your rights to shoot anyone on your property.

in which US states can you legally use deadly force against anyone on your property (not in your house) without being threatened?

Can you prove that?

The closest I can think of is Texas, but even there you'd have to meet the definition of "criminal mischief at night".

Yikes, that doesn't sound right. Citation please?
