You must move to a country that borders your own, forever - which do you pick?

Since I live in the UK.
But I'm half French.
I speak French.
I hold French nationality.
And I relate much more to the French culture than British culture.
This isn't a very hard question. As it is, I may be spending a year in France in a couple of years time, and I haven't ruled out actually moving there permanently.

/island nation...
I suppose New Zealand, it kind of borders us, and is pretty similar to Australia anyway. Or Tasmania.

As much as I wish to commit genocide upon Canada I'll admit it's a definitely a better choice than Mexico.
Well, I live in Portugal, so my only choice is Spain. I've gone there quite a few times on vacation, it's a beautiful country, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy living there, being Portuguese. I had to endure a lot of shit during my vacations simply because of where I come from, including a cousin of mine getting stabbed and us getting refused service at a restaurant.
Yeah, not in Western Canada. There's probably a lot more Mandarin/Cantonese and Punjabi/Hindi speaking people in BC than Francophones I'd bet. But English is the far and away most common language ( I for one speak almost no French... hell I know more Spanish!).April Hannah said:
As for me I guess I'd be going to the States
(this is a kind of silly question for North Americans)I could see living in northern California, Seattle area, or even the North east coast.

Not arguing with your actual point but I can't resist:AnarchistFish said:
Since Canada is definitely a first world country, yet still has vast areas of wilderness matched only by Russia, I would simply say that the "sterilised safety" aspect is optional
Oh and Mexico isn't actually that poor. Obviously they're less developed than the likes of Canada and the USA, and they have a large drug cartel problem, but relative to the whole world they're probably far above average, as is most of latin america. I've always been somewhat interested in living somewhere like that. It seems more exciting and interesting than the sterilised safety of the most developed countries.
Ummm, well I'm in Canada and we only have one land border, so looks like I'm moving to the United States.
Last thing, this question may have been more interesting had it just been you could move to anywhere. In which case I'd pick one of France, Canada (Montréal or Vancouver), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Chile (Santiago), Italy (Florence) or Japan (Tokyo).
French, a language even Canadians don't speak.April Hannah said:
For the record I live on the moon and none of this makes sense to me. We have have no countries and by we I mean me and my imaginary friend.
I have no real choice. I'd move to Washington.
Well Antarctica also borders us. That and Papua New Guinea. But I'd rather it be a bit cooler (NZ) than stinking suicidally hot (PNG) or be in the middle of nowhere surrounded by snow (Antarctica). So yeah I'd choose NZ I guess.Volan said:
so... Canada then? i'm ok with that, hell live on the US/Canadian border as is so it would be a quick easy move
Well since every other American seems to have forgotten about all those little islands off the southeast coast I'll have to pick the Bahamas. Lovely little tropical island & so much warmer than Canada & safer than Mexico. I just gotta watch out for those hurricanes.
Canada. Not too fond of the French part (I personally find French to be an ugly tongue.) but every Canadian I've ever met was really cool. And it's fairly analogous to the US anyway, so the transition between cultures would be simple.
Not really... not really sure why anyone would pick Mexico, really. Not the safest place to be. And you can't drink the water there. (Also I can't speak Spanish.)
