The standard of living over there is extremely high, the weather is awesome (I love the cold), and some of my favorite death metal bands are from Sweden. | ||

All have real interesting cultures. Germany would be more preferable because German is very similar to English. ^^ And of course Canada. :D | ||

I would choose somewhere in Scandinavia if it wasn't for the language barrier, though I could probably pick up german I already speak a little. Canada probs 2nd most reasonable english speaking country. I don't want to live in a country that may teach creationism to my future kids or has no universal healthcare or a horrible national reputation so America is out. I don't want to live in a country that is ruled by a monarch so Britain is out. | ||

(is USA that free hmmm.... i don't know, body scan at the airport, those that say anything) I don't believe there's a place on earth where there's real freedom. Yes taxes are higher in countries that are highly socialized. But the health care cost per person paid by the government is about half of what you'd pay in a country like the USA which has privatized health care. The people themselves barely pay anything. That said, Sweden, Denmark and Germany are all places I'd prefer to live. That language barrier would suck to get around though. | ||

For leading the world in the technological field. However, only if I am rich. I hear they have a terrible living condition for normal workers, cramped, insane work hours, etc. | ||

The weather: Having grown up in middle-of-nowhere Michigan, USA, I'm accustomed to snow and cold, and I significantly prefer cold to hot given a choice in extremes. The language: English is the primary language in all major provinces save Quebec, so I need not switch my primary language in order to adjust and live comfortably; only a handful of other countries meet this criteria, at the forefront being England(a good consideration), Australia (too censored and expensive with relation to gaming) and New Zealand(a country I have heard very little about). The location: It's on the same continent as my current location, as opposed to overseas (see abovementioned: UK/AU/NZ). I'm not crystal clear on why, but this is a sentimental bonus for me that is fairly significant. The people: Reputedly above average in politeness and pleasantness. The politics: It's really hard to top the USA for extremism in politics, and Canada certainly doesn't. That's a plus in my book. | ||
