Which country would you prefer to live in other than USA?

For me I want to live in Montserrat. I mean its a freeking island with a volcano--how cool is that. Also there is not many people there since the evacuation so it would be great, you could do pretty much what ever you want. Also they grow some awesome terms and conditions violations in that volcanic soil. Montserrat is my number 1 place to migrate to.

Tonga is on the list, they have no volcano but its only $10,000 to register a bank and basically thats 10k to print your own money and make a fortune... I wont go into details, you know the banking system by now. Also its a monarchy so I could marry the king, I mean Montserrat is a monarchy too but I dont want to marry Lizzie

New Zealand (Aotearoa) would be on the list, but I will have to take my car with me. I've looked into moving to NZ before and the biggest annoyance if the cost of used cars there. I would need to bring a car with me as a personal import, and I better do it soon before they change the laws on imports.

Switzerland. Ok, its not an island so its not as cool as the ones above, but its still a pretty cool place. There are issues migrating to Switzerland, BUT they will accept you (me) as a political asylum seeker as soon as you cross their border. Plus they are all multi-lingual so they will understand my psudo-romance-jibberish.

Arizona. Ok, you wanted to know a country OUTSIDE the US, well Arizona was once Mexico and honestly, a secessionist movement there... well I dont want to be raided by DHS, but yeah it could potentially be outside the US... They are not an island tho, but they have some pretty big lakes on the Colorado river, and the weather there is suitable for an Australian like myself...

Honestly?

Either Iceland or Norway.

I know, I know, socialist countries..

But I find that socialism works at lower populations...Not so much at high populations with amalgamations of 50 or more different economies.


All that aside, the people, the hunting and shooting sports, and the culture. 'Nuff said.

Well, lots of advantages for muricans to live on the Philippines.

As for the Question.

Canada.

I would rather stay where I am in the midwest.
But if forced to leave I say canada.
Australia would be cool or a Scandinavian country.

I also noticed nobody has said cuba or Venezuela or china. Thought so many people wanted those vacation hotspots. Or how bout the middle east....
Any takers?

If I had enough $$ I'd go live on the west coast of Ireland, preferably Dingle Peninsula or near Lahinch in County Clare, or maybe a small town in County Kilkenny. Or the west coast of Scotland or Wales. Just for the beauty.

New Zealand too would be grand.

British Columbia or Nova Scotia.

Italy, Portugal, Spain.

Only if I had enough money in the bank so I wouldn't need to work though. Just write, volunteer, walk, dream, socialize, read, wander.

Not sure if I could handle the cold of Iceland or Scandinavian countries.

USian here.
not interested in learning a new language at this stage in my life so it would have to be an English-speaking place.
If I could afford it, the Caribbean. Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Bahamas. Beautiful down there.
if the EOTW comes soon that part of the world might be vulnerable to tsunamis etc.
otherwise, Australia / New Zealand. guess I'd have to learn to like mutton.
Mexico intrigues me. I wonder how many of them speak Ingles. I met a retired teacher who lives inland and she loves it, says away from the border it's perfectly safe (and cheap).

no third world 'developing country' or muslim for me.

If one were to emigrate to America what criteria do you have to meet?

Mars

Ohhh, this sounds like a dream to aspire to! I would love to do this.... in Italy.

(Add eat, drink and shop to the list, though)

Australia, of course. I was looking at a dual citizenship there once. Except I'd have to have gotten a new line of work.

Living in the US? Yeah... It was when I was younger, I dreamed about living in the good ol' US of A but after 9-11 things changed for the worst - unfortunately. I guess it had to do as well with the decomposing aspect of the shadow government as seen in the Iran Contra Affair, it simply eroded the social contract over time. Nowadays I get the feeling that a lot of the US have been stampeded into a war on terror hysteria that will continue as long as it is seen as useful in population control. Now with the newly upflamed racial conflicts it's probably a bad idea to move even into the wrong neighbourhood..."hood" no pun intended Reminds me a bit of South Africa's gated communities.
But the EU isn't any better in my eyes, it tries to follow the US model to become a United States of Europe and people don't want that but are never asked anyway. Sorry if I sound a bit bitter, but I think the best country to move to would be...Mars.

With decreasing civil rights, government spying & false flags and civilians getting dusted between the too many frontlines, people who have enough should get together and establish an independent coloy there. Some say pack up the NWO'ers and send them to moon
If that is too much Sci-Fi, I would guess that maybe New Zealand or Australia would be good to live in, but who knows.

ecuador
spain
sweeden
canada

For me it would be

Iceland.

Sweden.

New Zealand.

Well that depends on the circumstances by which you arrive.

Political refugee status would bring you here under an I-94 non-resident alien visa. Later you would have to apply for you Permanent resident card. 5 years after that you would be eligible for citizenship.

If you come here under any other kind of visa, like a student visa or tourist visa, you would have to continue to extend those visas until your case can be heard.

So long as you aren't a criminal or entered the US illegally you should be able to gain non-resident alien status. If you become a Permanent Resident Alien, you can then join the military and get your citizenship for free, which would be the best way to go. This includes joining a States' National Guard which is easier, by far, than trying to go active duty like I am.

If I had the money I'd like to live in Costa Rica. Great country. Caribbean coast and Pacific coast and rainforest, pretty good hospitals. Relatively peaceful compared with some other Central American nations

Me too! I was blown away after visiting Costa Rica.. So pure. Half the country is protected land, and they dont even have a military. Its like the place I live now (Colombia), without the mass environmental destruction and ridiculous amounts crime...err, and beautiful Colombian women..

a reply to: Tucket

I was lucky enough to have been born there..

But since I renounced my citizenship in order to keep my security clearance I would have to re-establish ties.

None, more like a different planet. Should have filled out the applications for mars colonization.....maybe?????

Is this kind of rudeness really necessary?
