I'm not dead set on Leaving the U.S, but if I was going to I think it's fair to see these two countries would be at the top of my list. Int part because they both speak English, also because they both seem somewhat similar to America. I'm iffy about Australia in part because of the nanny state aspect, and I've heard it has some problems with racism. I was intrigued at New Zealand because they really seem to want people to move there, and the weather seems better than Canada. But they are so isolated unlike Canada. Which do you think is the better place for Americans?
Some criteria to consider.
1. Economy
2. Climate
3. Location
4. Natural Scenery
5. Acceptance
6. Friendliness
7. COL
8. Politics and Government (or lack there of)

What's so ironic about that? It's a legitimate concern of Australia, it's arguably just as bad or worse than America in that aspect. If OP's trying to get away from that it might not be the best choice. Anyway given the choice I'd pick NZ hands down. I actually realy like how isolated it is. It has much better weather than Canada and Auckland beats every Canadian city IMO.

Good grief, it keeps getting better...... You don't see even the possibility of uniformed prejudice the post?

I'm Canadian and I'd like New Zealand too except it is one big volcano.
I would be interested to know what particular aspects of the nanny state in Australia cause concern? Also what particular racist problems?
Seems like they ban a lot of stuff, like movies or video games that are remotely controversial. Also some people don't seem very accepting of foreigners. I've heard it's expensive as well, more so than the other two.

Doesn't the U.S. still ban Kinder Surprise (chocolate eggs with small toys in the middle)?
Bottom line is that you can always find these types of weird outlier examples to prove your point.
For the average person things aren't really that different on this type of front (or many others) whether you're in the U.S., Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

Fair enough. Anyway can we actually focused on the two countries at hand, that was after all the point of this thread. Thank you very much CD.
