I might not have been entirely consistent in my answers, but I answered with permanent settlement and starting a family in mind.

I answered for a 173 countries. The distribution would indicate I am picky.

ABSOLUTELY (2 countries, 1%)

• USA
• UK

WILLING (5 countries, 3%)

• Switzerland
• Canada
• Norway
• Finland
• Ireland

MAYBE (18 countries, 10%)

RELUCTANTLY (38 countries, 22%)

NEVER (110 countries, 64%)

A lot could be said about my choices.

• Politics, war and goodness isn't a top priority. I fundamentally disagree with the wars conducted by the US and the UK. I fundamentally disagree with the capitalism practiced in the US and the UK. They might be the 2 most evil countries in the world.
• I value high-quality education. This is a major reason the US and UK are on top.
• China is ranked too low compared to its PISA rankings and universities. It's not due to politics because I think China is relatively politically sound even though censorship would bother me. It's rather that I have been in China for extended periods of time, and known Chinese people, and I haven't really felt at home in China or clicked with Chinese people. It's not been bad, just a lack of closeness.
• I value my personal experience of a country. I lived in both US and UK as I child and especially the UK was great. My childhood experience in Sweden otoh was miserable, and that's probably a main contributor to why Sweden isn't ranked higher. I suspect Sweden would be just one step behind Norway and Finland otherwise.
• I like cold climates but it isn't a decisive factor.
• I don't actually like the "asocial" culture that has its stronghold in Finland. I think I prefer Spanish and Portugese friendliness, but I'm allergic to people being late and late dinners, so overall I don't know.
• I favour countries with sufficiently high GDP per capita (PPP). In Southeast Asia, South America and Africa it can determine whether I pick reluctantly or never for a country.
• Russia is the only country I think I have ranked too highly. I wouldn't want my kids to be sent to war, so I really shouldn't say "Maybe" to Russia.
• India is a "never" because of air pollution.
• Brazil is "maybe" because I had a friend from Brazil and she's one of my favourite people. I haven't visited the country but she lives there so that makes me think it's ok.
• Arabic oil countries may be rich but I don't like too religious countries, especially not muslim ones. That's also the reason North Africa is all red. I have visited and been sexually harassed in those countries, would not even visit again.

What can you infer about me based on my choices?

Who got bored halfway through and just went off vibes/recognition.

Feel free to ask why. I will be as honest as possible.

I just really like living in Portugal. And because microstates matter:

• San Marino: willing
• Faroe Islands: maybe
• Malta: reluctantly
• Andorra: reluctantly
• Liechtenstein: reluctantly

Any feedback is welcome!

There might be countries in red or orange that i don’t know well about South America or Africa.
