Ukraine hands down. I am so surprised that others have not selected this beautiful and sophistated country.
The people are well educated and friendly. The literacy rate is almost twice ours. Most people are tri-lingual at the very least, speaking Ukrainian, Russian and English.
The cost of living is low, and the Ukrainian people are fun loving and intelligent.
Night life is lively, architecture is lovely and the food is delicious.
Estonia! No doubt about it, one of eastern Europe's wealthiest countries (second to Czech I think?), full of beauty and history, Tallinn and Tartu are both beautiful cities and the climate there suits me perfectly. Czech Republic would be second.

Poverty, poor health care, highest HIV rate in Europe, many car accidents, many people drive while drunk, racism, not ethnic diverse, robberies, scams, winters are to cold and it has to many Russians.
Yeah very surprising it's not number 1 in the poll
Yeah Prague would be my choice too, because it's the most Western out of the bunch and you have Berlin, Krakow, Munich and Vienna all within a 4 hour drive.
This is odd to me. You would want to live in the most western of eastern Eastern European countries.
If I were to live there. I'd avoid touristy and westernized places, although I like Prague, Berlin and Krakow. Vienna not as much.
There is a dark harrowing history in these cities, and some of the most creative and passionate people I've met.
I 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???
For the record, there is no country of Macedonia at least yet. Its formal UN name is FYROM-former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia. There is still an ongoing complex issue with Greece and FYROM's recognition.

Ukraine would be my last choice by far.
Estonia is not 2nd... slovenia is and then Poland so estonia is like 4th "richest" or lower because i think Hungary might actually be doing better

Let me check, better quality of life/healthcare/roads, richer, safer.
Yeah what on earth is the point, it's like choosing between a villa with a ferrari on the driveway or living in a container with rats as your neighbors.
WTf! romania has 5 votes? why someone would want to live there over all the other countries?
I looked it up on google street view and the poverty is really bad there

I'm yet to see a index that ranks Poland as more wealthy than Estonia (there is none). Not to mention the fact that Slovakia is, oh so obviously, richer than Poland or Estonia or Hungary.
Current ranking of the European countries according to the GDP per capita (CIA World Factbook):
