    Question above.

    I currently live in the United States and would love to live in France, despite never visiting and probably being shunned at first for being an American. For some reason I have an odd infatuation with the French culture.

    I would love to live in Italy. I went there once with my cousins and there was Ice cream shops every block! The food and local café was amazing and every Italian is super nice! One thing that striked me as odd was the fact that for the entire time I was there..... I never saw a star. The night sky the entire time was pure black without a single speck of light.

    My current fantasy is to live in a shack on a beach with a bottle of rum and fish. Buy a boat, go somewhere where everyone else isn't. Bora Bora maybe, or Mexico.

    I have thought about that many times in my life and have had many different countries on my mind. But now that I'm 47, quite well off, and single, meaning that I could actually do it :O I realize that there is no place on earth that I know of that I would actually want to move to. Visit, yes (that list is long), maybe even for months, but not to live in. My home country of Sweden may not be perfect, but it's perfect for me :)

    You know... if the ratio were like that, I think I could do without the internet. And the golf course. But I'd definitely need that pile of money.

    Lichtenstein. Looks pretty immense. Currently live in Scotland and we, as a nation, are voting on September the 18th as to whether or not we are staying as part of the United Kingdom or becoming an independent country. If the vote goes through as a yes, I'll move to Lichtenstein.....

    I'm a proud Scot, but I'm also proud to be British. If I'm forced to lose my British nationality by the delusional public of my country then I'll be pissed.

    Why do they even want to split off? So all the money isn't going to London?

    A lot of Scots feel that the Westminster parliament suck more out of Scotland than they give back and think we can run it better ourselves.

    Keep in mind the UK has a population around 65m and a similar geographical size to Florida, with Scotland having a population of around 6m. We'd lose the £sterling, we'd have to re-apply to NATO and the EU, and we don't have enough industry apart from oil and whisky (and the oil is running out and not every one is a drunk!)

    Sulq. In the United States you fly the Stars and Stripes and everyone swears an allegiance to the flag.

    We haven't been allowed to fly the Union Flag here for nearly twenty years because it's viewed as diversery and racist. You'd be idiotic in the UK to even declare yourself as a Patriot. Patriots in the UK are sneered at and called publicly outed as fascists. It's very very sad. We have been brow beaten into silence.

    The Scots are our brothers. We have all lived on the same tiny weather beaten island for thousands of years. As we face the challenges of the modern world we would fare better if we faced them together. I sincerely hope that they remain part of the UK too.

    Despite what you may be lead to believe, we all get on well together over here really. We are all pretty much the same. If we found ourselves in dire straits in some god forsaken country I absolutely guarantee you that the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English would gravitate to each other and stick together. I live in Birmingham and lots of my mates are of Irish heritage. I have Welsh and Scottish mates and we all rub along well. Yeah we indulge in a bit of banter every now and again especially when we have football and rugby matches, but we are essentially the same.

    If the Islamic State starts to chew through Europe then don't be surprised to see the Irish, Scots, Welsh and English stood side by side fighting together and for each other whatever happens in the referendum.
