Italy , its such a beautiful country.
Estonia. Digital privacy is my thing and Estonia is the world’s only e-government. They also have the strongest privacy laws.
New Zealand because it has the most going for it in terms of community.
Canada (from US.) I like where I live, I just don’t like the government.
If I had it to do over again (born/raised in the US, living in Japan), I might pick Norway or Finland over Japan, but overall I’m fairly happy where I am.

Ireland, I speak the language, plus they seem comparatively reasonable.
Almost anywhere in Europe would be nice, but Ireland sticks out to me.
They’re part of the EU, and they primarily speak English, so the language barrier wouldn’t be as bad. (though I’d be happy to study Irish/Gaeilge)
As for politics and/or the economy there, I don’t know much, but I am pretty sure they haven’t elected a fascist who’s quoted Hitler.
Not quoting Hitlerz but the “prime minister” did say about rent for a one bedroom apartment being over €2k that “people need to remember that one man’s rent is another man salary”.
The president is nice though, although he’s just a decorative position, he seems like a very sensible Hobbit.
There’s a country in Europe called Ireland.
I don’t know much about the politics and policies there, but what I do know is that if I drop the street view guy there, most places are green and pretty. That puts it pretty high up on my list.
New Zealand would be a fun place to relocate. While it does suck they’re part of the 5 eyes as their government loves snuggling up to the US, the life outlook of the citizens is admirable. The money someone has or doesn’t have isn’t a consideration regarding how someone is viewed. A millionaire and a home-free individual are seen similarly when first met thanks to this mindset. Both mountain towns and island towns have a laid back approach to each day, which would be a nice change of pace. New Zealand is also both, as it’s an island with a couple huge mountains. Snowboarding and surfing are a ton of fun, especially when the travel time is minimal. So ya, New Zealand would be a solid choice in my book!!
Why choose one country? I’m selling everything and buying a boat.
I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, but I dunno if I’d wanna live there.
Maybe one of the Scandinavian countries.
Iceland or Finland. Love both of those places, from the people to the landscape.
Norway. At least according to Germany I’m a Norwegian citizen. And I have a lot of relatives there. It’s a stunningly beautiful country. And I think their politics aren’t as braindead as the rest of the world’s.
Singapore. One of the few (if not the only) developed country in the east/southeast Asia region where you can get by not having to learn a new language. Great public transportation. I’m an urban person so dense megacities are my thing. I’m also Asian so I blend in.
I’d be with you if they allowed medical cannabis. They will execute you for using medicine essentially.
Yup, their draconian drug laws are definitely a big concern if you partake (regardless if for medicinal or recreational reasons). I personally do not, so it’s not a particular issue for me.
