Well if money is no object, I'm guessing I'm a sociopathic billionaire in this scenario. With that in mind, I'm going to live in Manhattan. Specifically, in a home that flaunts wealth in the greatest act of poor taste imaginable. I will buy up and bulldoze an entire block of dense Manhattan real estate. Then, surrounded by skyscrapers on all sides, I'll live in a mobile home with a block-wide chain link fence around the property. There will be at least three cars on blocks in the yard.

There are more issues like language and culture which might be bigger issues, but yeah money can fix some of them.

I think I would like to live in a different country every couple of years, to experience many different ones.

For now I lived in:

• Poland 11 years
• Germany 15 years
• Sweden 15 years
• South Korea 5 years

And the most surprising thing is how little real difference there is between them.

Ireland, hands down. I've been twice, and both times I've been absolutely enamored with the country. I'm from the Midwest, so a lot of it is probabky just the differences and the fact I'm on vacation. But the castles and walkabke cities, and rolling hills, and so much green instead of brown or yellow! I'm also a fantasy nerd, so I'm a sucker for anything that can have a medieval spin.

If money was no issue, I'd choose to live close to where I live now, but in an actual house that I could call my own.

New Zealand

Edit; although there's a strong case that has been made for Canada recently, proximity to my own powder keg of a country scares.

Probably Finland, Iceland, or Norway.

Somewhere in Scandinavia

My own country (the UK).

That's a weird response to the question, given that I do currently reside here. However, I don't feel like I'm doing much living. There's so much more that I could be doing if I wasn't constantly struggling for money

The middle of the woods.

TLDR, most likely Canada, but honestly, I wanna travel around a bit first before actually settling down.

Hmm honestly I wanna just live in Taiwan for like maybe a year or two just to see how different it is from mainland China. Relearn Mandarin (Traditional writing systen is probably gonna be a pain in the ass tho).

Then um...

See, if money wasn't an issue, I'm probably gonna try get some sort of Diplomatic Immunity thing from a western country (so I don't get arrested in case PRC government found out about my political views) and then visit mainland China, I'll visit Guangzhou and visit where I used to live to see if that helps with the childhood trauma I've endured there. (or it might backfire, but it's worth a try if I can safely enter the country). Probably visit my parents villages, see if it bring up any memories from when I was a kid. Then leave quickly before anyone recognize me (because I hate the idea of them being like "Oh is that [father/mother]'s Second Son? You came back to visit from America? How are you?... etc...." nah fam, sorry don't wanna talk lol, too much social anxiety, I'm just here for nostalgia, I'm gonna gtfo soon after.)

Then I'll go to Hong Kong, I have very faint memories of being there as a kid, I have seen photos me being there, but I can't really remember much. I'll see if I could bring up some memories.

Then I'll probably wanna live in like Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Norway, Finland, UK, each for like maybe 6 months to a year. These are countries I just always had in the back of my mind for some reason.

Then after this sort of "world tour", I'll just chill in Canada, get a bunker and suvivak supplies in case. But since money isn't an issue, I'd be doing a lot of lobbying. I'm probably being hypocritical if I had a lot of money then funding progressive policies, but whatever.

See, Canada is very multicultural just like America, a lot of ethnic Chinese, so I'd fit in fine. But the most important thing is, no guns for most people. And as I rich dude, I could just get an exemption very easily (yes I know, peak hypocrisy lolol). Canadians seem much less crazy with the mass shootings. Europe seems fine too, much they seem less diverse because they aren't much of immigration countries, I mean I wouldn't really call myself a "German" or a "French" even if I get citizenshop there, because those are actual ethnicities, but I could call myself Canadian if I got citizenship. As for the US wealth tax thing... bro I'm still keeping the Citizenship, I'll just do what rich people do, not pay the taxes lolol.

To summarize: Canada, very maple syrup, very cool.

Belgium or The Netherlands

Money is no issue?

Mars.

Not worrying about money or visa?

.... Like. Tierra del Fuego. Or one of those remote areas of Canada/Alaska

Basically a cold, cold place that rarely sees heat. I detest heat.

If I am being realistic, probably Berlin, Brussels, or Paris (maybe also Frankfurt). Specifically these cities, not anywhere else in the associated countries

I'm using the following metrics (and possibly some personal bias):

• A highly developed region that is internationally well-connected and has a strong passport... which leaves us with parts of Europe and some Asian countries. I'm personally excluding UK because of Brexit
• OP didn't mention that "culture weren't an issue", so sadly most of Asia/Scandinavia/Central Europe are out due to difficulty for outsiders to integrate... and among the rest, choices are limited to large, diverse cities that are easy to integrate
• A place that is resilient to climate change, so the entirety of the Netherlands is out (or maybe I just hate NL)

The conclusion is that I should really get aggressive at learning French and German now just in case

Estonia – yes, I’d have a hell of a time with the language, but EU citizenship and politics that don’t sound completely fucked are really appealing

Buenos Aires. But its not visas or money that's stopping me, it's their mini Trump president.

I'd give New Zealand a go. I lived in Australia for a while and liked it for the most part but what I heard of NZ made me think I'd like it even better.

Visa requirements seem to be less of an issue the more money you have. That being said, I'm going to space

Estonia. Nearly all government services are done online and people there are in control of their data.

Kinda boring, but I'd stay in my country. (Switzerland) But I'd move to the Thunersee or Lago di Lugano area.

Switzerland and Germany are among the top 5 for me.

Scotland. Preferably Highlands but really anywhere in Scotland

Switzerland (Fribourg) or Norway, I'd try each before making a final decision.

Sicily, south eastern parts.

Italy! I like that they have kept their culture and their mentality which is so rich, diverse, profound and just overall positive. Italians are also so open and friendly!

I'd stay in Canada as long as I could travel someplace warm for a couple of months in the winter.

If we're including borderline fantasy options, a private Zeppelin might be neat...

Somewhere close enough to the equator do have a decent amount of sun all year. But also close enough to mountains with snow and lakes and oceans. Then I would build a massive climate controlled dome. From that dome I would build high speed trains forme to get to the other places in about 15 minutes. I don’t like humidity or too much heat, but I do like a lot of sun and water. Snow is great for hot tubbing.

German north sea coast seems nice. I don't even live that far away from it, but because it's rather popular, the prices for traveling there are too high for my budget. Buying or renting a space to live is obviously also expensive.

If we're talking "which country is the least likely to get a far right government", not sure. Norway seems like it's doing pretty well overall, but I don't really have much experience with Scandinavians. Also they're pretty tall, which is kind of a pain if you aren't tall, too.

Canada would be nice, more specifically the Vancouver area since I have friends out there. Maybe some European country like the UK.

Somewhere in the pacific. I love coral reefs and sailing

I don't know if I'd want to stay there forever, but a house in a settlement or very much in the wild would be great. Nobody around you, but nature. Somewhere close enough to the poles for it to snow in winter.

Ive heard nice things about Amsterdam, though there's the obvious caveat that the impression the internet gives of a place is rarely an accurate picture of how a place actually is.

My current house. The problem is moreso about distance to friends and family than money and visa.
