    Honestly I’ve always thought New Zealand would be a cool place to live.

    Or Norway

    new zealand is extremely difficult to emigrate too sadly

    That’s not surprising to hear. Guess I need to meet a New Zealander who would have this old busted man as a husband.

    Costa Rica

    They chose to dismantle their army and use the money on schools and health care

    But without a military how will they stop The King of England from walking in and pushing them around?

    I can field this one. They’ve got a big box held up by a rod, and under it is a plate full of crumpets and a big cup of tea. They’ve caught six royals in thirty years.

    It’s a catch and release system. You wouldn’t believe where they tag ‘em!

    Unfortunately we cannot afford such a box in this economy. As we speak the taxation on and price of boxes is being increased.

    honestly though, while Canada is hardly a socialist utopia despite what folks on the far right try to claim, and I have Definite Concerns about the next federal election, and the atlantic provinces on the whole tend to be left of Ontario through to Alberta. Halifax in particular is a major port city with a container pier, busy shipyard with government contracts covering the next couple decades so there's probably lots of demand for your skills.

    Politically, it's a pretty liberal city, and the peninsula/core has a lot of leftist/activist folks around likely in no small part because of the 3 universities in the city. It's big enough that there are things to do, but not so big that you have to live 2 hours out of town to afford anything (which isn't to say that rents are cheap here, greedy landlords are a problem here like everywhere else, but affordable housing is probably the biggest issue being discussed in the municipal elections that are about to happen)

    It's not perfect, but where is?

    Three lesbians bought donuts for me in Halifax, I can’t even remember if there was a reason why, so you’re way better than most countries.

    I really wanna visit Canada again honestly. I skimmed the coast in my navy days, but as you can imagine I missed most places.

    The issue with moving country to escape from bastards is that it is like waiting under a tree in the rain until the droplets filter through, and then running to the next tree

    The bastards are already there, they beat you there by thousands of years and, if they are currently not in charge, they are are only a single election away from correcting that mistake

    Iceland? Steal a boat and run your own whale watching tour by day, northern lights by night. Extra cash on the off-season by forklifting pallets of yogurt that tastes like cheese around.

    If you can handle living on the most geographically isolated densely-populated island, Hawaii (the big island) is affordable and about as well protected from the mainland psychos as you can get

    I think Hawaii has been sufficiently colonized probably

    Maybe a littl too much, even, who could say

    I would never want to live in Hawaii. I feel like it’s either 100% tourist trap or 100% local where you do not belong if you aren’t from there.

    I visited France once on a vacation.
    It was overall awful because I was a child who did not speak French enough and was a picky eater and barely managed not to starve to death, but Mont Saint Michel was pretty awesome.
    Fantasy-castle-ass monastery.

    Their immigration policy is a fucking joke

    Good luck getting your work visa approved or cancelled within a ten to hundred year window as the country goes through another religious/magical upheaval

    Take over one of those North Sea seaforts, start your own micronation, and declare war on Sealand.

    I don't know if the construction of mont saint michelle is an actual architectural/engineering marvel, but it most definitely makes me marvel

    like beyond just the physical beauty, it feels like the building process was also really remarkable

    Mont Saint Michel is paired with St Michaels Mount in England

    It's always tickled me that they just went for a literal translation of the french name

    netherlands are pretty easy to emigrate to, have a lot of boats, and everybody speaks english because dutch is an extremely fake language

    On the downside, we keep voting in right governments who are dismantling the social security and a lot of Islamophobia.

    Usually yes, but in this case the King gifted the island to the French monks who owned Mont St Miche to build a monastery on, so it was them what were unoriginal I believe

    Before the English decimated the Cornish culture the name was Karrek Loos yn Koos

    They queued up too many things at once so it won’t be finished for another 40 turns.

    Stankonia

    Could you describe it a bit?

    Well as Andre the Three Thousandth of His name put it:

    “Live, from the center of the Earth
    Seven light-years below sea level we go
    Welcome to Stankonia, the place from which all funky things come
    Would you like to come?”

    You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water, our shark.
