You can try.

I've cut it a little bit. Out of Europe, I'd like to try living in Uruguay and Atlantic shore Argentina. In ex-Yugoslavia, Slovenia, Muslim majority areas of Bosnia are excluded + Albania. Romania is depicted in "Unirea" mode with Basarabia and Bugeac. Russia is depicted with Western Russia and Novorossia.

I would not live permanently anywhere, I like the flexibility to move around, I have not thought about retirement,
I cannot find the perfect place

Dark blue: homeland
Medium blue: citizenship
Light blue: permanent residency (Singapore not Malaysia)
Light green: where I have lived so far

Yellow: Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, East Asia, Gulf States, Latin America
Orange: Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East
Red: Africa



And for the US/Canada, every state is like a country, blue is home, green is where I have lived so far

How have you managed to live in so many countries ��

I have only lived in the green or blue countries, for my work and my parents' work (aviation/airport business);
I cannot find the perfect place to live

Rethinking this, where I choose to spend my time (including for retirement) depends on what is important for me:

QUALITY OF LIFE and/or QUALITY OF GOVERNANCE:
ideally a clean non-Western country such as Singapore (tax haven), Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, a Persian Gulf state (tax haven),
or a European country without a mass migration problem, such as Finland, Iceland, Hungary, or Belarus

PERSONAL FREEDOM: Sweden, maybe Finland or Japan or Belarus surprisingly,
possibly a free US state such as Idaho, possibly a white separatist colony in South Africa or Namibia,
I do not want a country that turns into a prison every time a supposedly new respiratory virus appears,
maybe a tropical Latin American or Southeast Asian country with outdoor shopping and a non-oppressive government

LOW COST OF LIVING: any ex-communist European country or Latin American or Southeast Asian country,
possibly rural Idaho or a rural white enclave of South Africa, Namibia, or Botswana

POLITICAL and ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY: Russia or allied states (Belarus, Kazakhstan),
or other mildly pro-Russian states such as Japan, United Arab Emirates, Hungary, maybe Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia

Otherwise, I like beaches, warm weather, olive orchards or coconut palms

I would live anywhere but whole Africa, any muslim country, Russia/Belarus, Venezuela, Brasil and India.
