If you had to MOVE, which Eastern European country would you pick?
9.Ukraine.............4 votes (GDP per capita -PPP-: $7,199)
12.Slovakia..........2 votes (GDP per capita -PPP-: $23,384)
Interesting to see that people don't care about $16,000 more a year.
I chose the Czech Republic. I heard about how beautiful Prague is. Besides I can go up to Poland and see if I could find some things about my family history. Also maybe I could go to a few of the other Eastern European countries.

Well as apparent as it is that Slovakia is probably the best country to choose out of post-communist countries if your intention is to live in a wealthy, stable and well developed country, it has no influence on the poll since most people here are too silly to realize that such country even exists, and if so they do, they consider it the less successful one from the broken up Czechoslovakia (which is again, pure ignorance and lack of knowledge).
A bonus fun fact - Croatia (2nd in the poll), along with Portugal, is as undeveloped compared to Slovakia as Slovakia compared to Luxembourg (according to the UN human development index)

Ukraine is not "ethnic diverse?" So what? How is that bad? When I see what ethnic diversity is doing to Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, etc., I'll take Ukraine and their lack of diversity.
At least they have a chance of surviving as a country and culture.
don't go to Eastern Europe in search of the West. That's like looking for McD's in Moscow. What on earth is the point??? Right to the point! that dude is like some Parisians I know who , as first city they wabnt to visit in South America, say BA, "because it reminds me somuch of Paris". So ridiculous imho

Interesting how central europe leads, but warmer/marine countries like Bulgaria/Ukraine get few votes, which is likely due to American rednecks who view it as a "white christian pro-american paradise with pro-american $luts...and warm weather...and no gipsies". Even better for them: plenty of Russians live in Prague (it's a Trump voter dream came true).
Both not on the list, both in the Eastern Europe [sic].
The list also omits Russia, Georgia, Belarus, Finland, Albania and probably Cyprus and Armenia.
Yeah, if I really had to, I would choose Greece, Cyprus, Montenegro, Albania, Russia, roughly in that order.

Winter average temperatures are pretty much the same across the eastern Mediterranean basin. On a quick search, the warmest average daytime temperature in January I could find is in Haifa, Israel, about par with Orlando, Florida. The rest - like Lecce, Bar, Lentas, Limassol, Sochi - are on average around 4-5 degrees Celsius cooler in the same month according to some basic weather websites.
I think most people have chosen in accordance with political and economic stability, perceived or otherwise, i.e. countries most likely to be like a real, unequivocally European country like Germany or Benelux.
