Minimum wage is about $10.75, the tax vary by province, anywhere from 8%-13%... public transportation are great, and clean.

My vote would be Taiwan.
They are very business oriented (big and small.)
The people are very friendly.
They have a dim view on violent crime.
Riding around Taipei in a taxi is a gas (not for the faint hearted.)
They have a great museum and the north beaches are awesome.
oh yeah, and their politicians get into fistfights on TV when they really disagree.

Basically, I have no future here.
I may as well be broke and underemployed in a different country rather than stick around here waiting for the ball to drop.
Our debt is a huge reason as well.
Thanks for the answers guys, try to be as detailed as possible. I'm looking up these countries myself, but I don't know how much I can rely on Wikipedia and the CIA fact book.
Also, do you need to be in the country itself to ask for asylum or just at their embassy, as that counts as their soil? Just a random question.

LOVE THE PLACE.
Lived there for 14+ years.
All that you said is true.
However,
FWIW
a husband and wife industrialist team had independent dreams that were essentially the same . . .
that when the Mainland overruns the place . . . as they likely will do . . . they shot every last "barbarian" [foreigner] they could find.
I pray for the Taiwanese as well as for the Mainland Christians etc.
Interesting times ahead . . . but then . . . China will be invading our West Coast and through Mexico, too.
Ni djr dow ma?
