Any country around the globe. The only criteria is that you would be included as one of that country's poorest.

How about from the list?

America's "poor" are rich by some country's standards, that's for sure.

"Poor" people in the United States have a higher standard of living than the middle class in every other country on Earth.

Norway huh?

Norway Poverty - International Business - a Wikia wiki

Quote:
Despite Norway’s increased level of wealth and increased attention on poverty from the government, child poverty has gradually increased since 2000. Even though poverty is not nearly as prevalent in Norway, than it is in many other countries, the child poverty rate is surprisingly higher than that of other western societies. Child poverty in determined by comparing what children have in one country, compared to several neighboring countries.

If the 'poor' of Norway, Demark, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada don't own a house, a vehicle, get HUD subsidies, food stamps, have multiple HDTV, xbox, cell phones, internet connection, computers, free school food, head start at school, earned income credit on April 15th, medicaid, I'd choose the bennies of being poor in the U.S.
