    Well as I'm an American of half-Norwegian descent currently living in Minnesota, Norway would be one of my first choices. I know it's horrendously expensive to live there, but it's a beautiful country and the people there have a strong reputation for friendliness (especially towards us Minnesotans!). I also speak a little of the language (took it in high school), though I'm by no means fluent.

    My other main choice would probably be Britain. I've always been fascinated by the land and its history, and would love to live in the middle of all that. It's also a relatively short distance from Ireland, which is a plus as I'd want to visit there every now and then. The UK also seems to be a bit of a....quirky place, which appeals to me as well.

    Canada. My girlfriend's from there, I lived there at some points in the past, and I speak excellent (accent-free!) English (if I may say so myself).

    1) Japan- I'm rather interested in the country, and though I'd have to learn a new language, I've got a feeling it'd be well worth it. Plus, I've heard they're some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

    2) New Zealand- Just going off of 2nd hand sources that its very nice, and the benefit of not having to learn another language.

    3) Canada- Same language, close by, nothing too special, but wouldn't be bad by any means.

    4) Switzerland- The con of having to learn another language, but I had an absolute riot when I went there for a few days, beautiful landscape, a stable economy, and the people were pretty nice.

    5) Germany- Pretty similar to Switzerland, just didn't catch me as quite as enjoyable, though.

    The history of Germany is among some of the most interesting and influential in Europe.

    But nooo, we _had_ to move to Australia...

    I'd like to have gone to a country where the currency is stronger than the US dollar.

    Currently in the US.
    I'd move to Wales.

    The family's from there if you go back far enough, plus I think it's about the most beautiful place on earth (especially getting up into Gwynedd).

    Well I would make it difficult to move. I would move to the only Island province in Canada PEI and try to separate. If that didn't work then I would go anywhere with a moderate climate and learn a new language if required.

    In other words, if the PEI thing didn't work, you'd just move to Quebec?

    Well I would have to learn the language but the climate is far from moderate. I would like a winter season where I don't have to shovel snow.

    In the sense that dealing with their specific cultural and linguistic features can
    be a painful process, I would say that things would run more smoothly, that
    being the case.

    Dude, you live in Virginia. How cold can it get, really? Talk to some canucks, or Minnesotans, or even us second-rate Wisconsinites before you go moaning about cold. What, did it dip below freezing for an hour?

    My first pick would be Narnia, since humans get to be kings and heros there, and there's lots of weird half-animal people to freak out my mind. Barring that, perhaps New Zealand, since my wife adores it and the people all seem to be insane and fond of risk. Also I could cheat by not having to learn another language.

    But Narnia would be cooler.

    Right on. Visit the Canadian Prairie Provinces, and then you shall know the meaning of cold.

    Currently in the United States. I would have loved to choose Lebanon, the home of my ancestors, and such a beautiful country, more modernized than most of those in the Middle East (no offense to anyone else from the Middle East of course). However, based on the political situation there, I would not feel comfortable enough there. It is such a shame that such a beautiful country is having so much trouble maintaining themselves.

    So in the end, I suppose I would go for the UK. I already speak English, and it just seems like an interesting country. A smaller reason is that I'm a fan of Football (Soccer here in America) and it's really big over there.

    Indeed. Chuckle, you don't know what winter's really like unless/until you've lived within 200 miles of the U.S./Canadian border. Trust me.
