I'd pick Thailand.

Italy

Netherlands! :D

I would live in Chile, because I speak Spanish, and my husband is from there. As well, it is fairly economically and politically stable and it's just got so so so many beaches! Warm, fresh fruit, wine...what's not to like?

Denmark (Amsterdam) or Germany.

Back home in Poland! Or maybe Iceland.

Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Ukraine. In that order.

Either Germany, Israel, or Poland.

Germany because I have long had a fascination with German culture, history, and the language (took three years in Middle & High School).

Israel because......well, because I'm Jewish and I guess that's pretty much it.

Poland because it's one of three countries my Great-grandparents emigrated to America from and it'd be nice to see where they came from. I've been trying to keep in contact with my roots.

Greenland

New Zealand or Austrailia. Austrailia because I speak the language and there is lots of desert. New Zealand because it's beautiful.

I have lived in other countries, and there is nother nation that I would want to call home.

Norway

If you could live in a country that no longer exists, which would it be?

Byzantium.

A current country? Ireland. A former country? Probably Imperial Britain.

Either Bosnia or Croatia, I'd consider spain, and I'd consider Mexico if I could be in the right part of Mexico. This is because I speak Bosnian and I also speak Spanish. I'd also consider Ireland, I do read Irish, but speak poorly now since there is little opportunity to practice.

If I had to live in a country that no longer existed, I'd probably pick Rhodesia.

Ireland, no question.

Either Germany, Israel, or Poland.

These 3 countries don't go well together. ;)

These 3 countries don't go well together. ;)

Lol, no, they don't. :D

Japan, France, Spain, Canada, Austrailia. In that order.

Thats difficult... I'd say India, cause I could live like a king with the exchange rate and low cost of living.

For an old nation, I'd say Iran before 1979.

Just out of curiosity, but are you Iranian IRL?

Canada

I would like to live for at least a little while in so many countries, more European countries, because I think that I could learn more there, but also, in some very culturally different places, such as Africa or perhaps South America.

Republic of Ireland

its only an hour by road, not as if i couldnt pop back home to visit family

Just out of curiosity, but are you Iranian IRL?

Yes, but I prefer the term Persian, since that is my ethnicity and it avoids those nice little terrorist stereotypes associated with the word Iran.

probably australia coz i have relly's there

Italy. Or America's step-sister, Canada.

Canada, Ireland, UK, Germany, or Norway. One of those.

Austrailia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, any of the VIKING nations, CUBA

Australia Or Canada Or GB

Canada, because I am a citizen there, or New Zealand because of the politics.

Current Country: Switzerland most likely
Former Country: The Roman Republic

Probably USA - not many leftists around. Even though there are Bushists and other religious wackos around, no one's forcing you to participate, cf. Saudi Arabia.

Russia, on the other hand, would be better considering the soul of the nation. And Russian women, oh my. But the corruption is terrible.

I'd never move to a "Latino" nation. Not just that type. The cockroaches, corruption and being sociable, hell no! Or the Arabic nations or Islamist nations, it's the same, plus the aforementioned religiouswackoness.

In the Far East, politeness levels. I'd never adjust.

I don't think I could call anywhere but New Zealand home...

However, being a kiwi, there's loads of places I want to live overseas.
Austria, Switzerland, UK, Spain....actually, anywhere but Canada and US. I have no urge to go to either of those two.

Japan, because every time I have been there I never want to leave.

Okinawa ... Ichariba choodee!

Well, Norway is really nice, but not that far from where I live now. Canada, on the other hand, is both far away and sane, which is a rarity considering how hard it is to find sane countries outside of Scandinavia. Barring Canada, I think Japan would be different, but fun.

What about countrys from this game?

being from Australia I would say New Zealand or possibly Belgium for their beer :)

It's bad enough that Australia is full of Aussies, we don't want you coming over here thinking you can have a piece of our paradise...

;)

Norway or Sweden. I love that culture. Very liberal, too. And if I could live in a country that no longer exists? Either Prussia or the Principality of Transylvania

Current country : Japan
Former country : The Sioux Nation cause I'm part Sioux

Denmark.

Canada, the land of Gods, and really talented comedians.

Tough question...

I think, going on my first instinct, I'd say Holland because I'm heavily in favour of progressive social policies like same-sex marriage, decriminalization of soft narcotics and the right to choose to death with dignity.

But then, I want to help those who need it more, so I have to consider an under-developed nation.

But I'm also insanely anti-cold, so I then also have to factor in climate.

And let's not forget that I *LOVE* peanut butter, so I have to live where I can get it easily without breaking international postal shipping laws.

Crap. Can't figure this one out.

The tiny Republic of Togo.

I would find myself a nice cottage in southern Poland, become the military dictator, and lead my people once again to greatness! Belarus,Lithuania, and the rest of the former soviet satillite states would fall before our might! :mp5:

bump

If I was forced to leave the United States, I'd pack my bags and head for Great Britain.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe Sweden, because my blood is mostly Swedish (40%-my dad came in and mucked everything up with his Polish/Dutch/English heritage. Oh well. At least I'm blond.)

I guess there would be several on my list to choose from - in no particular order:

Canada
Australia
New Zealand
Switzerland
England

Greece.

Wow, seems like hardly anyone else would move to Asia. :(

i wouldn't mind giving Japan a try, but their sexual politics are a royal bitch...as a foreigner and a woman i would face heavy discrimination, and i simply don't have the patience to put up with that sort of nonsense. i think Japanese culture is largely a beautiful and admirable one, but there are a few spots to it that would make me unhappy so i don't know if i would end up liking living there full time. i would LOVE to try it, if only i had the money :).

i also would be interested in trying on Holland, England, Australia, Mexico, and Kenya.

Is Kenya safe?

I would live on the Moon.

I would live on the Moon.

The moon isn't a country, though.

Probably Cyprus or New Zealand

Even if I didn't have to leave the US, I'd leave anyway...straight for Thailand! :D

Netherlands, Sweden, Norway...I'd go right now if something could be done about the winters!

Probably USA - not many leftists around.
We have all the taxes of a socialist country and none of the services :-\

Russian women, oh my.
Sounds like you've never dated a Russian woman. If it doesn't drive you insane very quickly, you must come froma very different culture than I...

In Order:

Australia
Spain
Maldives
Canada
Scotland
England
Norway
New Zealand
France
Thailand
China
The Phillipines
Japan

In Order:

Australia
Spain
Maldives
Canada
Scotland
England
Norway
New Zealand
France
Thailand
China
The Phillipines
Japan

Why are Thailand and the Philippines so low on your list? And where the heck is Maldives?

The moon isn't a country, though.
It would be after I got there. Until I ran out of air.

Japan... or Australlia

I'd live anywhere my grandma is. But I wouldn't want to live in a place where they eat cats.

Do you know what Josh calls him? Grandma-Man.

Iceland, probably.

Netherlands! :D

Aye, that's the place fer me! I got the flag sittin above mah computer right now. (Bloody idiots always think it's French though) and I am Dutch after all. It shows too, light skin, golden hair, blue eyes, kinda lanky, and I love the cold (my rule is if I cant see my breath, I dont put on a long sleeve shirt).

Holland or the Netherlands

Why are Thailand and the Philippines so low on your list? And where the heck is Maldives?

I made my list based off of a lot of factors (and forgot to add the Netherlands to it): weather, environment, economy, government, local language(s), poverty, ease of move, crime, etc. It's certainly not something even remotely scientific, but Thailand and the Phillipines are lower on the list both for their higher crime rates, the inherent corruption in both governments, and the difficulty of moving there and having a job waiting for me (it doesn't help that the fillipines has like 100 different languages, and I only speak about 1 and a half of them).

The Maldives is an Island Nation of coral islands off the coast of India. It is said to be one of, if not the, most beautiful place on earth. I have yet to go there, and hope to before global warming raises the sea level and the nation sinks. The highest point in the chain is like 3 feet above see level. It's not a place I could move to and get a job, but it's definately a place I would think about heading if I won the lottery tomorrow.

There ya go.

If you couldn't tell by the list above, warm weather means a lot to me.

Sounds like you've never dated a Russian woman. If it doesn't drive you insane very quickly, you must come froma very different culture than I...

I've heard that at least in the UK it's the same. A lot of taxes, say, a high petrol tax.

True, I haven't dated a Russian woman. But Russians are absurd, and that'd be at least interesting.

I'd wanna live in Germany, but I would be homesick for my US of A!

NYC!

Hey, it's its own country.


Ok, Ok, if not the US, then somewhere in the UK. And if not there, Canada. And if not there, Spain or Italy.

Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, or Israel.

Australia
Ireland
England
Canada
New Zealand

mainly in that order, it could mix a bit. all english-speaking, cuz i don't feel like learning a different language. I take spanish, but i would prefer to stick with english. Canada makes the list cuz it had baseball. Australia has skiing I believe, plus cool animals. New Zealand is pretty, cool animals, mountains. England just seems cool. And Ireland cuz it's awesome. Just cuz i'm part Irish. I like the accents.

Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia.

Tahiti :D

Italy. Or America's step-sister, Canada.
But it's a cute step-sister...

For me, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, or Denmark.

I live in Puerto Rico thats nice enough for me

"Sounds like you've never dated a Russian woman. If it doesn't drive you insane very quickly, you must come froma very different culture than I..."

Is it the "has a mind of her own" part that really pisses you off? Watch out, they have one. And besides- American wife is part of the definition of hell, not Russian. Besides, Russians and Ukraineians are hands down the best lookers. If you've never been to one of those countries, you missed out. :eek:

As a Dutchie............It doesn't get as cold here as in Scandinavia......... In all honesty I haven't seen fecking snow for atleast two bleeding years!


Holland and the Netherlands are the same country. Holland is two provinces (states) in the Netherlands.

Amsterdam is a city in The Netherlands so it's not in fecking Denmark. And as it looks now seeing that we have a Bushwannabe as PM in this country (except he ain't as dumb) our system will probably change. Unless the PM and his Cabinet of incompentence do this country a favour and bugger off.

Before anybody start you chose them.......no we didn't. Biggest part of our country wanted this PM, but a coalition with another party! Not teh coalition we have now.

G'night and any otrher question please don't hesistate to bother me.

If I HAD to live in another country, I would live in Tuvalu (http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/oceania/tv.htm) :D :D :D

Venice Italy
the Anzac countries

Holland or the Netherlands

LOL

I myself would choose USA or United States Of America.. or not cos I would shoot myself in about a week after meeting people like you who think Holland and the Netherlands are 2 different countries :) :headbang:

Denmark (Amsterdam) or Germany.

LOL

Ah the Amsterdam of Denmark.. but no seriosly there's a "country" called Christiania in Copenhagen Denmark which is pretty much the same than Amsterdam or any dutch city for that matter..

Now climate wise I'd pick Thailand or Malesia or India or any country in that region for that matter. Party wise I'd choose Israel for sure, a billion psytrance parties there every day :D . Umm hmmm Australia or New Zealand maybe.. althou I could settle with one city in the usa too, new york that is :) lived there a year.. i fookin' love that city :cool:

To answer this almost seems odd if you don't get it from my name, but Cyprus. I would love to visit that nation. And all I have to do is live there 7 years or marry a Cypriot to become a national Cypriot! :)

Well I live in New Zealand which has featured quite heavily on peoples lists so far, possibly on the back of LOTR :P hah, a hobbit just walked past my window as I typed that..

Anyway, I would probably pick Oz or Canada, even though one is full of australians and the other is fkin cold (but it would be like going to dunedin).
