If you HAD to abandon your home country, where would you choose to live?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) June 18th, 2011

I’d pick Ireland in a heartbeat.

If for some reason, you were forced to leave your home country, (and money didn’t matter), where would you choose to relocate?

The Czech Republic, New Zealand, or some third world shit hole that I could raise a private army in.

Oh shit, PLEASE don’t invade Ireland, okay? :P

Canada, where my citizenship was reestablished by the Canadian government in 2009.

I remember answering this before.

Canada, England, or the Netherlands. Canada first by a long shot, and probably the Maritime provinces.

@Jeruba Oh poo, did I post a duplicate?

Bellatrix's avatar

I would go to Canada or the UK or New Zealand.

Jeruba's avatar

I think so, but it was probably more than a couple of moths ago. Don’t worry about it.

I might go look, though, just to see if I said the same thing.

[Added] Ok, there it is.

It would be to leave the US for England. :)

It’d be a toss up between Switzerland and a banana tree grove on an island somewhere.
Switzerland has plenty of meadows for geese and horses, the tropics, hard to find Oat Hay and cracked corn. lol

Thanks, @Jeruba. Guess I never saw that one. :(

It’s between Hong Kong, Azerbaijan, Russia or Norway.

Hmm, I’m thinking…Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia or France.

Canada or New Zealand.

Costa Rica. You get beautiful climate, water, beaches, amd better health care than the USA>

I think I’d go to Canada because they have the Rockies and since I’ve just gotten back from Colorado, I am missing those beautiful mountains like crazy.

When my memory of the mountains fades, I may want to live in England more. And I’d stay single for a year so I could teach those sweet English boys all about American culture. ;)

jonsblond's avatar

@KatawaGrey Those mountains are very hard to forget. Much like an ocean you love that keeps calling for you once you leave it.

I already did and I came to the United States.

But if I had to abandon the United States, I’d probably go to Portugal. I like it there.

Damn! I saw the question and said “Ireland!” And then I opened it. We all good!

BarnacleBill's avatar

Canada, Portugal, Ireland

SavoirFaire's avatar

A lot of places are tempting, but I would have to go with Ireland in the end.

athenasgriffin's avatar

Russia, Ireland, Switzerland

I’m thinking Switzerland

England for all the rain .. I do love rain so much.

ucme's avatar

Virgin Islands. What a happy time we’ll spend…bang bang clity clitty bang bang XD

United States.

choreplay's avatar

Quebec or PEI in the summer, Brazil in the winter. @WillWorkForChocolate alright, what did you do that you have to leave the country, give it up, tell us, or maybe what are you thinking of doing?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Hmmmm, perhaps I’d be caught tossing dungbombs onto the White House lawn, or using my invisibility cloak to sneak into the president’s bedroom so that I could position Rita Skeeter under his bed, or send him a letter filled with undiluted bubotuber pus…..

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

I’m already doing it. I’m living in New York City. I abandoned my beautiful country. But it will always be with me, deep in my heart. LOL

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

I would like to live in England – at least until winter. Then I would wish that I was living in Kwajalein Atoll or the Bahamas.

ETpro's avatar

@Skaggfacemutt Come to New England for awhile. After a bit of our winter, you will find the ones in England quite balmy.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Netherlands.

bea2345's avatar

United States. Nearly all my family and many members of my husband’s family live there.

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

@ETpro I just can’t deal with harsh winters. Is New England winters better or worse than the Chicago area? I grew up close to Hammond, Indiana, and winters were brutal!

ETpro's avatar

@Skaggfacemutt I’m in Boston and that’s typically a little bit warmer than Chicago. Of course, you can head inland to higher elevations, or North, and it’s much like Chicago. We don’t get so much Lake Effect snow. But every now and then, a cold front and North west wind sweeps off the Atlantic, and we can get clobbered with ocean effect snow.

I don’t know, the Cook Islands or somewhere in Micronesia, I would pick Antarctica because it is away from people, but I might have to step outside for something and it is way too fricken cold.

If I had to leave my home in Italy, I’d move to the USA. I visit it often, and I like some of it well. San Francisco is my favorite city outside of Italy.
