I, personally, would choose Canada. It's a nice place; with a low crime rate, free and pretty good healthcare (so I hear), beautiful nature, nice people, and Tim Horton's. I'm also taking French, so I could move to Canada and do fairly well if I keep learning tha language.
Just so you know, you only need to know French if you're moving to Quebec. Also, the crime rate isn't that low here. It's just less publicized. Health care isn't free, it's in your taxes (the way it should be imo, but that's beside the point) and I'd describe it more as adequate rather than good. Wait times are incredible anywhere you go. And not everything is covered. I believe dentists aren't, and neither are glasses.

But other than that, I like where I live. I doubt I'd move. Maybe to the US if I had to or if there was a great opportunity there. Or Switzerland; it would be the easiest since I have citizenship.

New Zealand.

No question. I took a month long vacation there last year and it is one of the best countries ever. 99 % of the people are friendly, the cities are beautiful and it has the most natural beauty I have ever seen.

I understand that healthcare isn't really free, but I just phrased it wrong.

you can learn French a lot better in new Brunswick. a lot of people in Quebec are more likely to give you the cold shoulder if you don't know French. tstay in more populous places in Quebec.

Canada has double the violent crime rate of the US, and there has been a rash in recent years of people dying in waiting rooms when they are not seen to after several hours in Canada. Including one man who was left in the ER for roughly eight hours before he died, then sat unnoticed for 28 more hours. Sounds like my kinda place.

There are also only 33 million people in what is interestingly enough the second largest country in the world. I say go for it it. Canada could use the boast.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Unless that other side of the fence is the Pacific Northwest, then it really is greener.
I just have a lot of friends who live there. *Shrugs*

Hmm. Not sure.

I could make do with little, and I'm fairly capable at adapting to environments ("hot" and "cold" don't bother me all that much). Huh. I also love sailing but I'm thoroughly landlocked.

In North America, I did enjoy my (very) brief stay in the Appalachians.

The Netherlands, I think. I'd like to live on the continent, rather than being stuck on this rubbishy island. I don't hate the UK, but it's a little... insular for my tastes.

I apologize in advance, but the US Army has dictated that in country related discussions, I am to present this media in whatever form possible (Which is particularly painful in real life verbal conversations). Sorry.


Truthfully, I live in the country I plan to stay in. Frequent trips to the shittiest places on Earth have made me a bit paranoid about traveling overseas I'm afraid.

Germany would be nice to live in for a while, I guess.

American here.
Canada or Scandinavia.
Although Canada has elected Harper and Scandinavia seems to have a growing populist/fascist right as well.

I'd love to live in Lithuania, preferably in a coastal city like Klaipeda. Rapidly developing economy with plenty of business opportunities (and a currency pegged to the euro for easy exchange), they love basketball and have made it their national sport, wonderful seacoast on the Baltic, and Lithuanian women (descendants of the Baltic tribes of antiquity) are some of the most beautiful on all of the gods' green Earth.
