Hi everyone!

I have luckily found this forum and decided to ask you, what would be your recommendation for me as a next country where I could move? I have spend last 3 years in Denmark, which sadly is much too limited by law and taxes. I have made a deep research about all of the European countries and I can't find anything for myself: with economic and personal freedom, normal / good weather and nice people. Maybe you live in one of such a places? Please help me, world is soo big

Bureaucracy, many limits and obligations. Most annoying is government which tries to be your parent, interfere too much in economy and private life. They know how much savings has Mr. Smith, have he been arrested and when have he been sick, and everything in one database. But probably in your countries (Sweden and Netherlands) it's not different.
I had a break in lately, police told me that if I would harm them, I would be judged.. It's unacceptable for me. A specially, that Danish police is ineffective.
I wonder is there any liberal / libertarian country..
Normal weather? More sun than clouds during the year is enough.

I have been thinking about Hong Kong, Singapore, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland, but I hope I could get some more ideas here Or some opinions from people that live there. Theory that I have read says also that Denmark is one of the most free countries in the world, and in reality I wouldn't put it in even in top 30.

The only way to do what you are thinking is to live in no single country for more than 3-6 months. Or live "under the radar" in one country for a year or two, then another.

You'll get tired of that eventually and you will conceive of freedom in a different way. But for now it appears you are that age. So be it.

Try Portugal next. Horrible and inefficient bureaucracy, but you may experience a feeling of great freedom in the first 3-6 months, maybe longer if you are willing to risk living "under the radar", but not too long.

Good Luck!

One problem is that any country which is not your native country (or you've lived there for many years) will appear more bureaucratic than it really is, because as a foreigner you don't know all the ins and outs of the system, nor the shortcuts you can legally take to make life a little easier. The illegal shortcuts are obviously out of bounds - if for no other reason, you will probably be deported if caught.

Living under the radar works best in your native country for that reason.

It's really impossible for us to answer your question when we don't know more about you than we do.

I recommend Somalia. They have next to no government there, so nobody would care what you do. Of course, with little government comes the responsibility of protecting yourself from bodily harm. But, hey, knock yourself out.

HK, Australia, New Zealand, USA and "free" in the sense you're describing it, does not exist. And...LOL...Singapore??? You're kidding me, right? The country that puts you in jail for spitting gum on a wall or sidewalk?

I smell a troll

Look no further than the United States of America, land of the brave, home of the free. I am very sorry that you had a bad experience in a Socialist country, they love big taxes and big Government

Come to America, my friend. Are you ready to become an American?

Pick any non-theocracy based country with a high level of corruption, that is where you will be the most free in. If you do not like something or want to do something, the high corruption allows you to bribe your way through the system. Often they have laxed social laws, like you can get drunk in public and no one cares. You can speed and just bribe your way out of a ticket. There a few building codes, so just build your house the way you want to. Corruption allows you to run your business the way you want to, just pay people off and proceed. Those places are truly the most "free" in the literal sense of the word.
