The United States of America.

I assume and surely hope many people choose the USA as their second choice nation, if they had to live anywhere else

Why do you hope people choose the U.S.? My second choice would probably be Switzerland.

I'd choose to live in Eastern Ontario. Like Quebec, whom Harper has already declared a nation, we are too. It's nice here. And if Canadians are nice we won't make them get passports.

definately not the US. bad attitude to outsiders, dumb government, crappy tv the list goes on. I'd either go back to england or explore new zealand. I've been to aus and it's a little weird. although i could live there eating nothing but sardines for the rest of my life if the alternative was to live in luxury in the US.

USA isbetter than the mother corp Britain.

Bitten is more left win the US crowed and expensive. That is why I chose Australia. Lower taxes then Canada, great beaches not that crowed and a good job marked. New Zealand is beautiful but I don’t think there are a lot of jobs there and if you live in Australia it is easier to visit. The biggest plus about the US is it is close, low taxes and usually has a good job market.

Australia or the U.K., probably Scotland to be more specific. At least there I'd have some hope of understanding the political system. I've never understood how the Americans do things. Such as the quadrennial spectacle of watching them trying to elect a president through 50 separate electoral systems, primaries in which the major candidates don't even run, major campaigns every two years, voting for sheriffs and judges and the equivalent of crown prosecutors, even voting on the contracts for garbage collection and animal control in some jurisdictions. I saw an American ballot once, when I worked with an American citizen who received an absentee ballot. It was the size of two newspaper pages... yeesh! Only the richest country in the world could afford it.

I think New Zealand for me. If not there perhaps one of the Scandinavian countries.

I put the United States about third but maybe I should have put it as number one since housing prices in Houston are a lot lower then Calgary.
