Nowhere on earth is a big statement. If you at least qualified it as "country-side" that would have been a bit more understandable (very low density making it pretty much impossible to control), but as others said, no, there are place where "stay at home" actually happen.

I live in Paris, and at the height of "stay at home" mandates, it was a ghost town. I had an actual reason to get out a few times, and let me tell you there were less people outside in broad daylight than there currently is in the middle of the night, which was really eerie.

There was enforcement too, since the police had pretty much nothing else to do there during the full mandates (not the latter weaker ones).
