I don't think there is such a perfect place that fits all of those criteria, but if there was then I think any really protective and intelligent person who lives there isn't going to want to tell you about it. I know if I lived in a place like that I'd keep it to myself, only tell a select few and not reveal or boast about it to all and sundry online. I'd expect people who lived there would want to keep it low profile, protect their well kept secret so their country wouldn't be despoiled by an unwanted migration of undesireables all looking for the same thing. Nobody wants their own paradise country that they love and live in to suffer an unwelcome onslaught of unqualified people applying to immigrate there or masses of illegal immigrants sneaking in and over-running and ruining it for everyone.

Far too many paradise countries and their people have been invaded and ruined and displaced because of masses of despoilers invading them as soon as they learned of them. I'm sure a lot of intelligent people today who value what they've got have learned a valuable lesson from history and wouldn't want to repeat those same mistakes of history again.

Australia certainly ticks all those boxes, but do you really think those are the criteria that equal a great place to live? Surely there is more to it than that

There isn't more to it if a person is really discontented with where they are and believes those criteria are the answer to solve what they think is lacking where they live.

You said in another thread, LongNote, "Because I plan on renouncing, and I need to live in a country that has good fitness gyms...". Was that a joke? You know renouncing is about a million times easier said than done, right?

I have mixed feelings about Australia, I've heard that they have some serious race issues.

It's not hard, just expensive.

Renunciation of U.S. Nationality

Ah, but is is hard. You would not be allowed to renounce if it would leave you stateless. You must first acquire the citizenship of some other country and that's the tricky bit. Countries don't hand out citizenship to anyone who asks for it. You have to earn it and it usually takes many years. There are a few countries where you can buy it but it will really really cost you.

You can still renounce even if it would make you stateless, read down to D.).
