When I think about this I'm always thinking "what am i gonna do for a living" - i.e I loved sinking piss at 11am on the beach of a Belizean Island but there didn't look to be a great deal of demand for Lawyers around there.

Same for - Mexico, Thailand, Guatamala - your strong (well, strongish, heh) currency is only useful if you're still making it.

I'd probably pick the US - or possibly France.

Girls from Brazil love American men + nice beaches.

Girls from Australia love American men + nice beaches.

Girls from England have `summer-teeth.`

I'd go to Brazil or Australia if I had to select another country to reside in.

If you wish, you can have several loaner Tonga girls so you'll have plenty of little bikini holsters and you don't have to return them until the next day or so.

While this sounds very nice Mr. FAX, perhaps you should check out Vanuatu. The arts are very much more alive there and the diving/snorkeling can't compare.
Not sure about the beer but I'm willing to bet the female contingent is nearly as oppressed as the Tongans.

Oh, anywhere Spanish-speaking. Probably Spain if I'm still concerned with making money at the time of the move but anywhere in Central or South America if I'm just checking out of the whole career-minded, build-a-retirement-nest-egg thing. Already I have connections that could get me jobs (not really careers) in probably 4 or 5 different countries. There is a part of me that could easily be satisfied living on a tropical beach teaching English or tending bar or acting as dive-master but there is a part of me that keeps thinking I might live past the age of 60 and need money to retire.

Interesting that I just found this thread. At work yesterday I talked with a customer who is moving with his wife and daughter (15 y.o.) from Columbus, Ohio to Moombasa(sp?). A very interesting guy, he looked like a little old Irish man with a long red beard, but his name was Muhamed Dahir born and raised in Chicago all his family lives in Moombasa, his wife is from Somalia and he married her in Ohio. He served 8 years in the Marines, then 17 in the Army, and served for 5 years at the UN embassy in Moombasa, he was a camp supervisor. He served in Vietnam for 2 years, was injured then deployed home, also served in the Gulf war, and was in Somalia to witness the actions later turned into the movie Blackhawk Down. Very interesting man. Anyways he loves Moombasa and said in a resort area, their hourse is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath and they pay 400.00 dollars a month, their live in maid is 50 dollars a month, their security which is an actual soldier, but he only patrols as night is 25 dollars a month. He said it's beautiful all year round, food is very cheap, and just a great place too live. He said the main income for their economy is tourists, safari hunts, vacations etc.

Me personally, USA all the way, im never moving out of this country.

One of my best friends bought a home on the beach in Ecuador for less than what I paid for mine in Lees SUmmit. 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3 fireplaces... marble all over the place.

And its on the southern west coast of Ecuador, close to Peru.

I think I would move there.... or Tonga.

United States
United Kingdom (More or less the U.S. with worse teeth)
France (If not for language, easily #2)
Australia (Good option, other than the food and the fact that they hate American accents)
South Africa (Would challenge for #2, but it's a long-term sell)
Germany (Don't know a lot about it, probably fine other than weird language)
Nepal (I would actually consider living here, but might reconsider after a third-world year. I could have servants.)
Madagascar. Relatively pleasant, but a bit rundown. Cheap servants would help a lot.
Hong Kong (China now, I guess.) I don't think I'd want to live here, but I could.
South Korea. I could live here, but I wouldn't be thrilled about it. Too expensive for servants.
Grenada. Eh.
St. Kitts. Eh.
Netherlands Antilles. Eh.
India. Nice place to visit, but no way would I ever live there.
Egypt. Nice place to visit, but you'd get hassled to death by hawkers and you'd have to have guards.

Iran, Mr. Rain Man?

Absolutely, Mr. pestilenceaf23. Of course, the main thing is that you have to have before you receive an invitation is an actual population. Then you can have a training program. As founder of FAXONIA, my primary concern and responsibility is to ensure initial significant population growth.

I think I see where you're headed with this, Mr. kregger. Faxonia doesn't really need "time" or a "calendar". In truth, those are outdated concepts. Maybe in Faxonia, we'll have something called "Vuppers". These will be stacks of coconuts approximately 10 feet tall that cast a shadow on the ground. The Vuppers will be surrounded by hundreds of little sea shells and when the shadow reaches a sea shell, this will indicate that it's time for more population growth work. Hail Vuppers!! Hail Faxonia!!!

I'm up for the job Faxionia, in more ways then one.
As a recommendation may i add the criteria should be for ages only 18-35.

I also would call upon the chief statue maker to build a statue of you in the town square. Anyone opposing such idea will receive 20 lashes.

1. Brazil, good beaches, food, surfing, do some jiu jitsu. Only downside is learning Portuguese.

2. England, pretty cool & historic, would be an easy transition

3. Australia, beautiful land & people, easy transition

BigOlChiefsfan 08-15-2008 06:09 PM

25 years ago I considered this question. Things have changed since then, but some of the considerations are worth repeating.

Safety, health care, English language, taxation, transportation - both within your new home, and the ability to get away if necessary. History of revolutions? History of natural disasters? Wars? Currency becoming worthless?

I settled on Australia, Luxemborg, Belize. Australia is the only one of that list I'd still consider.
Tonga...sorry, prone to tidal waves, and the only Tongans I ever hung out with were prone to sneak attacks on bystanders. Not cool.

Faxonia? I have here in my hand a list of Faxonian collaborators. I believe the citizens of Faxonia yearn to become BigOlChiefsfanlandians. Come the revolution, my REAL friends will all get phoney baloney jobs, and I promise a chicken in every pot. Better yet, we'll put our seeds and stems to good use, there'll be pot in every chicken. That's right.
Icky sticky chicky.

Mr Fax, we should probably declare war on each other, so the US Gubmint will come around and offer us a lot of money to sign a nonagression pact. We could join the UN and demand big bribes from the Dictator's club to vote against the Benign Imperialists.

I think we have found the motherlode. Between all the bribes and the icky sticky chicky, we're on to something good here.

RJ 08-15-2008 07:22 PM

BOCF and FAX, as the respective leaders of your sovereign nations you may be interested in knowing that here in RJakistan our primary exports are marijuana, beer, holster bikinis, prophylactics and, of course, potatoes. Hey, you gotta eat, right?

Considering Faxonia's economy being dependent on tourism and BigOlChiefsFanLand's economy being dependent on government, perhaps we might enter into an arrangement that would benefit RJakistan's export needs while meeting the hedonistic requirements of your societies. We'd love to do some bidness.

My people might not love me, but they're damn hard workers.

In RJakistan we do allow pets up to the age that they can be eaten. RJakistanians enjoy good barbecue.

Yes, I think BigOlChiefsfanlandia can do bidness with RJakistan. We want to import marijuana, beer and potatoes. Another national motto will be "This bud, this Bud, and this spud's for you!"

We will export Che tee shirts and handmade bongs to college campuses of all nations. Without regard to degree declarations, creed, race, religion or color. And we will export weapons. We will recycle old James Bond supervillain technology (we're so green!)

"Do you expect me to talk, Goldfinger?"
"No, I expect you to DIE, Mr. Bond"

The beaches and national parks are beautiful. There's these hotsprings up in the northern part of the country that are heated by a volcano.

There's also a large ex-pat community down there as well but the locals are cool as hell and very friendly.
