I'm surprised the first Canadian poster referenced St-Pierre and Miquelon, and a little bit impressed.

I mean, if you're only allowed to pick countries with which your country shares a contiguous border, than yeah, I'd be stuck with picking the U.S., but if you can pick countries that are only a stone's throw away across the water, then France it is!

Living in Finland, I have a choice between Sweden, Norway and Russia. I'll add Estonia by the sea. I guess it comes down between Norway and Estonia. I think I'll pick Estonia since I like Tallinn. OTOH Norway is rich. Can't make up my mind.

From Canada.

I'd happily go to the US. Ridiculous portions of cheap delicious food and jobs that pay decently? SOLD!

Well, I live in Canada, so there's really one option.

France.

(Yes, I'm serious.)
I would choose Denmark. Yes, I can do that. (Hans Island)

I suppose New Zealand is the only logical option. I'd be forced to learn new language(s) in all the other countries and I don't think their standard of living is quite what I'm used to.

But then again I'd have to tolerate an extreme amount of (friendly) insults and banter from Australia's Sheep Loving little brother.


But then again France could be nice...yes Australia technically borders France. Much in the same way Canada does. New Caledonia is a territory of France is off the East coast of Australia.

As a New Zealander...Australia I guess even if it means I have to associate with all those filthily convicts ;P.
I wouldn't want to live on an very small island like Fiji. Especially if I'm going to be stuck there my whole life and Australia doesn't seem that different from New Zealand anyway.

Probably back to the Motherland, Wales. Somewhere by the coast.
Never been to Scotland or Ireland so I'll stick to what I know.

Also, this thread really has brought out the racist dick in a lot of people...

Scotland. The weather may be utterly abysmal but I think I could get them to stop eating fried chocolate bars and be hailed a hero. And its better than Wales.

In Canada so... England? Can I go to England?
It'd be easy for me too, I've dual citizenship. Plus, I've always wanted to live in Manchester.

Have you ever had a deep-fried Mars bar? They're delicious. And agreed about the Wales thing, it's a bit of a mess.

I'd go from my current location in Denmark to either Sweden, norway or germany.
Norway is north of the wall and i'm not too fond of snow or white walkers..
Sweeden is by far closest, beeing just around a 30 minnute drive from copenhagen, where nearly everyone i know lives. So even if i couldn't leave, people i know could visit me.
Yet germany has a much larger film and games industry, which would mean more job oppertunities, when i graduate as a 3d CG artist this summer...
Guess i'll go for germany

Possibly a lot more possible options, is i'm allowed to count the pharoe islands, bornholm (small island on the other side of sweeden) and greenlands borders as well, i could move to, britain, usa, canada, finland, some of the baltic countries (can't be bothered to meassure which are closest, and possibly Russia. But i'll keep it simple and exclude those places.

Hints to canadians, you border greenland, which is part of denmark, come chill with us, we are after all as south park puts it, the canadians of europe.

Belgium or Germany... Well, I'll pick Belgium, because I have some family there (including an uncle who is just about the nicest person in the world) and at least I can understand some of the people.

Plus, better beer. ^^

Norway, since that is the best country in the world to live in.

Not really a difficult choice...

I live in the United States, I'll think outside the box.

Russia, taxes are less there. Much less. Can't critique the government there. Or I go to jail.

I could always move to our friendly neighbor to the south, Canada. However if I offend someone I could go to jail.

I could always go to Mexico, pay bribes to continue to live there, then run out of money where they extort money out of my family, meanwhile, I am in jail.

I'm fairly certain that the US has territory that shares a border with Japan, however more certain is that Taiwan is under the jurisdiction of a Federal Court. So I could move there.
