If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

I think if money were not an issue, probably I would either move to some sort of unpopulated island in the pacific, a space station, the moon, really anywhere I could sufficiently threaten geopolitical interests while being kind of isolated. Maybe even just the top of a new york high rise, lex luthor style.

More realistically, everyone's saying scandinavian countries, nordic countries, and these are popular for a reason. I could probably acquiesce, because I'm white and can speak english, but I also would pretty much be fine with any EU citizenship. I feel like there's a lot of different strengths and weaknesses that would be interesting to learn about from each and see which one I like the best, because I don't think it'd be a high level idea to judge any of them from the outside looking in. Likewise, I've also seen some taiwan suggestions, and that's kind of an interesting proposal as well.

I dunno. If money wasn't an issue, I think I might as well just stay where I am, and use it to do some cool stuff where I currently live. It's not really in the spirit of the question, but I think the main object, main limiter, in my life, probably in most people's lives, is gonna be money. I don't know if the context matters much, but then maybe thinking along those lines, I'd rather be homeless in a nordic country, so I might as well just kind of default to one of them because the consequences of financial failure there seem maybe less dire than in lots of other places. So maybe my answer is still the same as everyone else's, nordic countries.
