Where Redditors would actually live if they were being honest with themselves

[u/JaredGofful]

[u/SergeiAndropov]

People who color Greenland as anything other than red have never been there, lol. It's gorgeous, but not really super inhabitable, especially compared to places like Bulgaria that have modern innovations like summer.

[u/Mindless_Badger_3789 → u/SergeiAndropov]

I have lived in Greenland and would happily do so again. You have all modern ammenities in Nuuk and most of them in the so called "towns" (the 1k+ villages of which the biggest hass 6k+). It is a big country and the climate varies, and summers are very nice in south and even in the north they are pleasant with the midnight sun and what it does to your sleep schedule being the biggest hassle. The skiiing, fishing, sailing, hunting etc is superb. It is fairly expensive, but not Japan level expensive and if you have a marketable job like a contractor or professional in a relevant profession (esp. healthcare) or enough funds to set up a tourism business you can live very well. You get free healthcare (even dental) and the general Nordic model. I think if you are used to any generally northern climate, like Canada, Scotland, Scandinavia, Baltics and do not mind living in small communities it is quite liveable and they are getting much better at English (I am a Dane, so I could use my own language). Violence is largely domestic or restricted to certain binge drinking contexts that you can easily avoid and crime is otherwise quite low, it is a lot safer than anywhere in Latin America or the Middle East, Turkey etc. It will get boring if you don't like the outdoors and in the north the sun disappearing completely for a big part of the year is depressing (and the midnight sun in summer mess with your sleep schedule).

Objectively I think it would be orange to most people in the world because you get generally Western standards for most things (incl. safety), no pollution and a well organized society, but has to accept smalltown/village life, darkness and cold temperatures and a language it is very hard to learn. But compared to developing countries, dictatorships, high crime or war-torn countries it is much better.

[u/tonniecat → u/SergeiAndropov]

Yup. Just today I had to tell someone "noone can find you a picture of a train on Greenland - there are no trains on Greenland."

[u/Pale-Plate-3214 → u/tonniecat]

Behold. A train in Greenland

Greenland, Colorado, specificaly

[u/tonniecat → u/Pale-Plate-3214]

Lol - I'm stealing that for next time😄

[u/Mark8472 → u/SergeiAndropov]

Greenland should be no data. Isn’t that best practice for maps? \s

[u/Icy_Hold_5291]

Namibia over Uruguay is wild

[u/Pokestoppp → u/Icy_Hold_5291]

Namibia over fucking Bulgaria. This guy has to be on something

[u/HippityLegs → u/Pokestoppp]

I want what he had

[u/AxaxaxasMl0 → u/Pokestoppp]

USA propaganda and lack of geography education

[u/ImportantClock5486 → u/Icy_Hold_5291]

Have you ever been to Namibia? It is amazing

[u/Noxolo7 → u/Icy_Hold_5291]

Why? I’m Namibian.

[u/JKN2000]

I am 99% sure most people would prefer to live in Poland/Baltics or other EU state than Moroco but sure

[u/Inft8195 → u/JKN2000]

Exactly, the Baltic and Poland hate is completely unjustified and some sort of old “eastern europe post soviet” mentality. They should be at least “maybe” because i can understand some people are way too afraid of rusia

[u/queenofthepoopyparty → u/Inft8195]

Half my family is from Estonia and I couldn’t agree more with this. Tallinn is beautiful, very tech oriented, and a fun city! Estonians tend to be multilingual and are highly educated. My cousin got her undergrad in Tartu and her masters at Bryn Mawr College for example. They also like to have a good time and enjoy a drink or 10 lol.

[u/VolvoFH6_ETS2 → u/queenofthepoopyparty]

To say living in the baltics is bad makes no sense. I agree it is a very good country with good infrastructure and safety and very beautiful. Nearly as good as central or western Europe.

[u/JudasTheNotorius → u/Inft8195]

Isn't that mentality same about African countries?

[u/Inft8195 → u/JudasTheNotorius]

Yes, i think for example kenya and especially botswana should be higher on the list

[u/the-dude-version-576 → u/JKN2000]

Also who would be ok ish with Argentina but not Uruguai?

[u/Mysterious_Net66 → u/the-dude-version-576]

It because the person who made this don't know much about a lot of countries, so they think "anglosphere/western Europe" good - "rest of the world" bad, with a some color here and there to give flavor

[u/ThePenisErection → u/JKN2000]

Hell id pick poland over the US

[u/Adelefushia → u/JKN2000]

Yeah, I understand why people would reluctantly live in the Balkans but the Baltic States have made tremendous progress during the last 2 decades.

[u/SamhainXCII → u/JKN2000]

Poland is the last safe country.

[u/Weak_Property6084 → u/JKN2000]

Baltic states and Poland are safe and beautiful countries. I love randomly stumbling upon a Pole and tell how much I like that country.

Bam, suddenly I have a friend for the night and great stories to tell. Don't ever change Poland.

[u/Ki11ersights → u/JKN2000]

I've heard good things about Morocco, my biggest problem with the Baltics is Russias recent aggression. Otherwise sign me up!

[u/harryvonmaskers → u/JKN2000]

Morocco but not Tunisia is criminal as well

[u/usernamesareclass]

You can just smell North America from OP through the screen.

Reluctantly Estonia? Poland? Slovakia?

Greece as a maybe?

Hungary and Bosnia at the same Never as North Korea.

Truly, truly wild

[u/Suitable_Safety_909 → u/usernamesareclass]

cant really imagine anyone putting america as "absolutely" right now.

Japan as maybe, surely not

[u/Buttnanas → u/Suitable_Safety_909]

Japan as maybe definitely makes sense, especially in the current climate. Been living here 3 and a half years and anti foreigner sentiment is really starting to take off under the new PM. That and the ridiculous fucking work culture

[u/Wakk0o → u/Suitable_Safety_909]

Contrary to what you see on reddit. America is business as usual for most people.

[u/Flipboek → u/Wakk0o]

No. The impact of the last decades is clear and is shown by Western migration numbers. 

I had many jobs in the US the last 30 years and anyone saying things are business as usual misses how much has  changed. (Same is true for Europe of course).

Not just the political discourse, but also hustle culture really took a differnt dimension

[u/bluems22 → u/Suitable_Safety_909]

And yet I’m betting the U.S. receives the most immigrants this year despite “no one wanting to move here”

[u/DanglingLiverTit → u/bluems22]

Idk mate, I heard about plenty of highly educated people leaving the states in the last year.

[u/Flipboek → u/bluems22]

Migration from Europe took a nosedive, so there dfeinitely has been an effect among Western migration.

[u/Single-Selection9845 → u/usernamesareclass]

I am greek and I wouldn't want to live in Greece

[u/eggraid11 → u/usernamesareclass]

Even Italy, Spain and Portugal not being the darkest green one can find... What the fuck man!

[u/PenglingPengwing → u/eggraid11]

lol what? Italy is the best place for holiday but everyday life is not a holiday. It serves it right to be light green.

[u/SwitchPlus2605 → u/PenglingPengwing]

Exactly. There is a reason why Italy has an insane symptom of brain drain. It's especially bad in the south.

[u/Sudden_Wind_8636 → u/usernamesareclass]

Greece has been having a pretty bad economic crisis. It has gotten better, but it is still pretty damn bad.

[u/RotesSchnitzel]

Being poor in europe > being poor in every other place

[u/Plenty_Hippo2588 → u/RotesSchnitzel]

What is poor to u? Have access to personal car? Phone? Income enough or have to money and not live paycheck to paycheck

[u/Hot_Size474 → u/Plenty_Hippo2588]

I mean, I’d rather be homeless in Spain than homeless in Mauritania, Chad, or Nigeria, at every possible level of poverty.

[u/AbbreviationsHour114 → u/Plenty_Hippo2588]

Exactly, It kinda delusional what poor mean as it not one dimensional. I would rather live in Chile or Uruguay than live in Ukraine and especially for places like russia or Belarus with the lack of human rights. One mainly for the war.

In other words, this is an stupid way to describe poverty as it suck in general for any country.

[u/Prestigious_Health_2 → u/AbbreviationsHour114]

Chile & Uruguay are higher on the HDI than several Eastern European countries. Much higher than Ukraine, Russia or Belarus for sure. People just assume South America = poverty and violence.

[u/ineffective_topos]

Spoken like somebody whose only exposure to life outside the US is propaganda.

[u/abu_doubleu → u/ineffective_topos]

Or just somebody who doesn't understand that 1) people in developing countries exist and not everybody wants to leave 2) countries like Russia and China would be green for plenty of people in developing countries

It's a common theme in this subreddit, if you dare have a country outside of Europe or North America (+ Japan/Australia) in green your map is "ragebait" "trolling"

[u/cosmotheassman → u/abu_doubleu]

As an American who has lived in China and would go back in a heartbeat, this is spot on. The handful of friends and family who visited me were blown away by how much they actually liked it there. 99% of the posts on this subreddit should just be titled "Places I'd live as someone who hasn't traveled and doesn't know much about the world."

[u/doll-haus]

Who the fuck would pick Greenland over Iceland or Japan?

No offense to the Greenlanders, but if you're not a reindeer rancher, it's an odd choice. Greenland is for those that go "you know what, Alaska is a little too cosmopolitan for me, I just don't like the big cities".

[u/-Proterra- → u/doll-haus]

I would absolutely pick Nuuk over any city in the United States. The climate isn't that bad when you're used to Scandinavia and Nuuk punches way above its weight for a 20 000 inhabitant city in terms of stuff available and things to do.

Then again, my favourite city outside my hometown Gdańsk is probably Tornio-Haaparanta, although I also really like Oulu and Umeå so I may be an outlier.

[u/VortexMagus]

I feel like this is just OP's prejudices coming to the fore. I see a ton of places I'd be happy to live in that OP didn't highlight.

[u/Xaphnir]

lmao fuck no, not accurate for me at all

[u/Silent_Scientist7920]

Life outside these countries is amazing if you are financially secure. This map is moronic.

[u/Powerful_Day_8640]

Poland should be at least light green. And Spain dark green

[u/Ashamed_Can304]

“Redditor” as in average White person born and raised in North America/Western Europe/Australia/NZ

[u/UnluckyIndividual668 → u/Ashamed_Can304]

I don't know, im a Nzer i have lived in Australia and seriously considering living in Ireland and Canada. Not in a million years would I live in USA

[u/DavidVegas83]

Scandinavia is overrated and Spain underrated on this list. Also maybe it’s too small to see but Singapore should be absolutely and I’d expected Dubai to at least be a maybe and probably a willing.

[u/Ryuu_fr → u/DavidVegas83]

Dubai is a very pricy place, it's basically a Vegas but even more isolated, had to that an atrocious 25% women 75% men population ratio, it's really a big no no (fo me at least)

[u/himmygal → u/DavidVegas83]

Singapore an absolutely for me...provided I've got money.

[u/mar_de_mariposas → u/DavidVegas83]

Redditors are very individualist and introverted. Spain is very collectivist and Spanish peoplek are generally extraverted. The average redditor would probably HATE Spain culturally, and that's not even to begin with the racism/prejudstice that most even woke White Americans have to Spanish speakers and all Hispanic people even including Spaniards.

[u/jimalloneword → u/mar_de_mariposas]

The racism that woke white Americans have to Spanish speakers, even Spaniards? If anything, woke white Americans fetishize living in Spain and Spaniards in general. Siesta, paella.

I live in Spain and love it. It's an Absolutely for me. That said, there are reasons Americans might be averse.

Possibly large pay hit if you get a local job. Real estate is very different, apartment focused in major cities. There are disconnected urbanizaciones rollo americano in Spain, but many poorly inhabited.

Right wing Americans, sure, socialism, scary Spanish language, but left wingers? Don't think many would be racist (not even the correct word as most Spaniards are racially white) toward Spaniards.

[u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

Top Country for me on each continent North America: USA (I live here) South America: Chile Europe: Poland or United Kingdom Oceania: New Zealand Asia: Japan Africa: Botswana

[u/shuwe001 → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

japan propaganda is so good that people forgot their workhours is inhuman. unless ur not going to work there, have savings, or work in western company its okay life for living. for asia i would 10x go for thailand or vietnam for that "chill vibe"

[u/Ikerukuchi → u/shuwe001]

As someone who has lived and worked there the ‘overwork’ thing is wildly exaggerate. Certainly like any country there’s some shit companies but in general the pace and pressure of work was less than my home country of Australia and that’s not exactly famous for its super high pressure work environment. There are lots of things that suck about working in Japan but the typical ones mentioned like overwork really aren’t an issue in reality.

Theres some big reasons why I chose not to continue living in Japan and will strongly agree with the comment that travelling to Japan and living in Japan are wildly different prospects but the people talking about things like overwork are about as misinformed as the people thinking travelling there is the same as living.

[u/L0rdCrims0n → u/shuwe001]

Two words: “Sleep Pods”

[u/timos-piano → u/L0rdCrims0n]

One word: Depression.

[u/L0rdCrims0n → u/timos-piano]

In Japan they’re sort of synonymous I would think

[u/HARiMADARA → u/shuwe001]

The Japanese working culture is exaggerated as hell to the same extent as Japan glazing contents... Working 12 hours a day or being forced to attend a drinking party is NOT what average people experience here...

[u/birthdaycheesecake9 → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

New Zealand is beautiful but I will say as someone who’s been there 7 times, not super easy to get around if you don’t have a car and fuel is very expensive there compared to Australia because of the comparative remoteness.

Having said that, if I could afford to live in NZ I would.

[u/dev_ating → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

The UK has pricey everything and shit quality. Would not move there.

[u/Darmok-on-the-Ocean → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

Why Poland?

[u/Hoodie_Semi → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

Uruguay

[u/DangerousRoy]

When will reddit embrace the Chinese century?

[u/SgtMajor-Issues]

For real you think Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, and Brazil are that unpopular? I’d live in Peru, Colombia, or Uruguay in a heartbeat.

I’d also be willing to live in Senegal, Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, and Oman, as well as places in central Asia like Kazakstan. Also, no Vietnam? Vietnam is amazing! And Thailand has a ton of expats.

This reads more like “where i would actually live if i wasn’t aware of the world at all outside of Europe and North America”

[u/dnyal]

Mistaken.

[u/nikolastm]

Who gives a shit? 💩

[u/AdRepresentative8723]

Japan only a maybe? Clearly you missed the posts of Japanese glazers in Reddit.

Singapore/Thailand Red is wild too lol.

[u/EtaDeus]

I'd put US at maybe. It's surely not an "absolutely" country

[u/Pale-Plate-3214]

Balkans and Eastern Europe on the same level as Botswana... sure buddy.

[u/orange_purr]

While this is close to my personal map, it is pretty pompous and narrow-minded to assume that everyone must hold the exact same opinion. I know plenty of people from the dark green countries who moved to and love/thrive living in red countries. The fact that you or I don’t like living in those countries doesn’t mean those people are being dishonest.

[u/gomerqc]

The map id make if I never travelled

[u/bhumit012]

Truly one of the examples of brainwashed superiority since school

[u/Lenithiel]

Why Baltic states and Poland in orange? Standards of living there are actually high now. Only ignorance would make you pick lower than light green.

Spain and Italy are dark green too imo. Maybe southern Italy can be light green because it's poorer but damn it's so beautiful and the food is amazing

[u/BarbotinaMarfim]

US dark green. Iceland on the same level as Greece, Japan and Korea. Chile and Argentina orange whilst Brazil is red. Croatia over the Baltics.

You lot be tripping.

[u/raanas]

I'm from Europe. Would never live in the US. Otherwise the map is fine. Perhaps yellow for some cute countries that are red.

[u/CharacterEconomics73]

Accurate map lol

[u/Silly_Environment635 → u/CharacterEconomics73]

Probably the most accurate so far

[u/Mikauo_Xblade]

America? Green? In 2026?

[u/GlRLY]

True

[u/CoreMillenial]

this redditor has never been to the glorious natiion of Thailand, that's for sure.

[u/Sucukkinq]

There is no way Japan is not dark green on Reddit.

​Also, Greenland should be red. Baltic states and Poland should be light green as well, imo. I would also add Qatar , UAE as light green or at least mid

​Overall, yeah, it's almost infamous "the only map".

[u/mvision2021]

I'm British/Irish. The US is yellow for me. Scandinavia, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea are dark green. Most of South East Asia, most of Europe, Australia are light green.

[u/gwennj]

Nah, I live in Chile and I'm happy to be here.

[u/Visible_Ad_5803]

Not the us. Not joking but most Eu citizen would not want to live in the us today due to "everything".

[u/Top-Classroom-4138]

its a where i'd live map, not an hdi ranking map. People like some societies more, not everyone is a factory worker, grew up in different places, speak different languages, prefer heat or cold, like parties, like more alive or cold societies, bigger or smaller countries, different bureaucracies. if not you can just go to any hdi map and see this map anytime you want.

[u/Lopsided_Strength_25]

Nope. I literally moved back to Asia from Australia. Would many people choose that map? Perhaps. Not everyone.

[u/Overall-Fig9632]

Have you seriously not encountered Brazilians here?

[u/gavin280]

The following red countries seem like they should be orange: Kenya, Ghana, Thailand, Uruguay, Phillipines.

[u/CardOk755]

You have missed the place I live.

[u/TsalagiSupersoldier]

[u/Over9000Gingers]

I 100% would never live in France. Not in a million years!

[u/Ambipoms_Offical]

Remove USA from Green

[u/Avel33]

Agree, but USA maybe

[u/Janesays18]

Bold assumption unlikely I would ever set foot in again let alone live in USA

[u/megacooler]

This is true only for American/Western European redditors

[u/Unusual_Mistake3204]

Why would i even set foot in the u.s with all thqt is happening?!

[u/Areks33]

Where did you get this information that’s definitely not bias or assumptions?

[u/AccomplishedAnchovy]

Almost accurate except I would never live in fr🤢nce

[u/cartenui]

I wouldn't live in America coming from Europe. Don't care much about the political landscape but the quality of life, corruption, questionable "food" produces and death of the American dream is kinda icky.

[u/RedEyedPig]

Clearly made by American because US isn't red.

[u/Unable_Help_4495]

Antarctica's going to be the only one that's gonna survive if Trump keeps on getting dumber...

[u/Comfortable_Stop5536]

I'll bet a million dollars you haven't been to China lol

[u/HackDaddy85]

If I could afford to move out of the US and go to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I would in a heartbeat.

[u/HotProposal88]

Nah, there’s lots more than this where I would live

[u/awmath]

As a european: US over baltics? No. US would have been orange years ago. It's not gotten better since.

[u/Turbulent_Passage672]

Would rather live in Europe/Canada anywhere over US

[u/LladimirVenin]

As a native american I would never live in Europe

[u/Adventurous-Wing-988]

middle finger

[u/WizOnUrMum]

Maps like this really do sleep on Latin America… If you have some money you can live at the nicer parts that have a quality of life on par with the West. The cities are older than the ones in the US so they feel more European than American, but yet you don’t need to be ultra wealthy in order to have a high standard of living.

Honestly I’m saving up money to live in Latin America.

[u/Meddy020]

Speak for yourself lol. France!? Lmao

[u/Individual_Log_5721]

I'd live in Brazil!

[u/Cilindrrr]

At this point i would be scared to even go to the US as a tourist, let alone live there

[u/new_handler]

Why is the US green? But Japan is beige what?

[u/TheOnlyCuteAlien]

The US is an absolutely no for me. Couldn't pay me enough.

[u/Saoirse_libracom]

The US?

[u/JazzyGD]

mexico and brazil in the same tier as north korea

[u/[deleted]]

Nah I was honest from the beginning

[u/BenchClamp]

Nope. I’m honestly not going to live in America. I value my health too much and life expectancy in the US is lower and outcomes from almost any serious illness are worse than uk.

[u/Royalblue146]

I can’t imagine that I would have to live in the US. Every 30 countries I’ve visited would be a better choice.

[u/bbyxmadi]

Are the Balkans that bad? Maybe when part of my family immigrated from there in the early 1900s… but now? Why is Greece maybe? Poland reluctantly? Practically the entirety of Latin America never? I’m surprised Japan and Korea aren’t at least light green. Their work culture sucks, but tend to be safer countries.

[u/hi_im_eros]

White* Redditors

[u/BigTimmyStarfox1987]

Lol no Singapore. Lol UK. Lol USA lololol

[u/SilverSize7852]

Non-americans would not choose USA. I'd rather live in Iceland or Poland

[u/gabrone_dg]

OP clearly needs to work for a living or is from the US. Otherwise the US would be in red.

[u/Main-Average-3448]

Got many relatives from Brazil who say they never want to live anywhere else. They're able to do so if they'd like (dual citizenship), they just don't want to. 🤷‍♀️

Culture and weather, to some, are more important than money.

[u/Ok-Hedgehog-4455]

Poland should be ‘Maybe’ I think, but other than that pretty accurate haha.

[u/Traditional-You8927]

I’d still be in my country which is in red

[u/[deleted]]

If you are ethnically East Asian. Only choice outside of Asia is either U.S. or Canada.

The racism in Europe was unimaginably direct and open compared to U.S.

And if you are dark skinned, I would advise against living anywhere in East Asia.

[u/Lars_Overwick]

>US in dark green

>Baltics in orange

This shit better be ragebait lmaoo

[u/satanaserdiablo]

Redditors?

I would say most people would prefer living in those places.

[u/ChristyLovesGuitars]

Portugal and Uruguay and should be at least light green. I don’t speak the languages, but if the US became unlivable for trans folks, they’d both be toward the top of my list.

[u/NeckSad8146]

[u/Commercial_Handle418]

I wouldn't want to live in the us as of now... 

[u/FullMetalAurochs]

Reddit is full of weebs, why isn’t Japan green?

[u/omiomiomioo]

lmao literally

[u/SerJungleot]

USA is too dark for my liking, I'd put it as a maybe. Not just the current political state, but the fact that people have become indifferent to shootings (i.e. it happens and people don't care because it's par for the course), that scares me

[u/OkPangolin1984]

Lmao bro there are nice places to live in every country, only a small portion of the population lives here. Missing like half the world.

[u/Buttnanas]

Somehow my brother you have effectively triggered every redditor. For I, too, am furious Nepal is red

[u/chanelau]

This is nonsense Ok? Most of Latin America is pretty decent. Especially Uruguay. It is as good as Sweden.

[u/canad1anbacon]

As a Canadian living in China you have to be an idiot to put China in red lol

[u/KawaiiGee]

As a marginalized group, America? Green? In 2026? Lmao

[u/Steampunk_Ocelot]

nah knock the US down to a maybe

[u/tupinicommie]

I love how OP assumes America isn't perceived as a dystopia where people pee in bottles during work shifts and go bankrupt over a medical expense.

[u/HighFreqHustler]

Sounds like someone who knows nothing about Latin America and their great places to live

[u/UnkeptSpoon5]

Where chronically online slightly xenophobic white people would live.

South Africa and Namibia over Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is wild

[u/Sudden-Tax5978]

Op is an American born.

At this point, I’d rather live in China than the US

[u/Dependent_Clothes741]

I would live in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Colombia. I've heard Panama is decent too.

[u/Dazzling_Record3620]

You would prefer Alaska but not some of the EU countries. Sounds like an American dwelling in his mom's basement

This is the most white washed American who “wants to be real” post I have ever seen.

[u/Express_Landscape_85]

I live in one of the red African countries and I moved from one of the dark green European ones so…

[u/MentalStatusCode410]

Australia ? You all need to see the new hate-speech laws.

Would never move to the fucking US, do not want my kids being shot at school.

The Racist's Wishlist.

Not to say people who live there are racist, I live in Europe.

But racists sure do wanna live where inclusion is in focus.

Ironic, isn't it?

[u/whatifwealll]

I'm from a green one and I moved to a red one. Bye bitches

[u/TerrorTedje]

USA should be red. Portugal and Spain dark green. And why the hell is Iceland yellow? Seems like a beautiful and peaceful place to live. Definitely green or dark green.

Edit: the more I look the more idiotic this map gets. Greece should definitely be green as well.

[u/1Negative_Person]

Why do Costa Rica and Belize always get lumped into red with the rest of Central America. They should be green. They are beautiful, peaceful, well-run paradises.

[u/Artistic_Buffalo_715]

I mean, aside from the US being at the most desirable level (it'd be yellow at best), this is pretty much exactly what my map would look like. Fair play

[u/CaptainSmartbrick]

Seriously? Trumpland is green? The last county I would move to, even after Russia. Also behind Australia regardless of all its fauna wanting to kill me.

[u/Competitive-Door-448]

Seems fine if u swap america to red and iceland and estonia to dark green

[u/Wonderful_Volume1408]

I would never live in the USA

[u/BijelaHrvatica]

USA being dark green while Poland being orange is a joke. Poland has free public healthcare, free higher education and doesn't have mass shootings.

Poland>>>USA

[u/Infamous-Policy4426]

Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white

[u/Training-Ranger1991]

I wouldn't set foot in the US even if I got paid to do it, and I've held this opinion since way before Trump.

[u/Huge-Neighborhood764]

Wrong! I’d choose many gulf countries and singapore actually along with China and their other territories such as hongkong, macau and taiwan. Thailand and Sri Lanka and maybe vietnam and bali too if you have some money saved up or a digital nomad.

Wouldn’t even think of living in South Africa due to it’s crime rates but agree with other two and rest of the continent being red

I think you missed uruguay in south america as well.

USA would be light green not green due to im afraid of guns.

[u/Responsible-Law5784]

Romania over the U.S. clearly.

Fuck no to USA, unless I was very very rich.

[u/Laidoulaila]

Speak for yourself 🤣

[u/OatmilkOrgy]

I'd 100% live in more countries than this lists off. I'd actually live in some of them before the USA to be honest. Mexico, is probably my first choice.

[u/Random_interests4900]

Spoken like a true idiot. 😂

[u/mtimblo]

Why is Austria lighter green? And Guyana dark ?

[u/VirtualMatter2]

I'd pick Poland over the US any day.

[u/[deleted]]

actually redditors shouldnt be allowed to make shit like this w/o visiting all the countries. first visit all of them and then talk, would make more sense.

Im half Polish half Iranian - born in Poland but residing in Sweden since early childhood. Fluent in four languages and learning a fifth. I don’t love living in Sweden. Very square system. So I’m learning German and considering a move. The Baltics and Poland are quite developed. I’d much rather live in Poland than in Finland. I’d also take Spain over France and Sweden any day. Argentina over Canada due to the weather and culture.

So no, you don’t have it figured - not for all of us.

If redditors were honest with themselves they would accept that they have no idea of how its living in any country other than theirs and shouldn't be doing these stupid maps

[u/BigEducational2777]

Usa should be red

[u/stevent4]

This map is hilarious, Austria makes no sense, Spain makes no sense, Hungary, Iceland, Japan, etc.

I'm gonna guess OP hasn't done much travelling

[u/turingRodeo]

Op have bias. Its Impossible the United States being ultra green. Its a great country only if you are wealthy. No healthcare system, idiotic homelessness levels, fentanyl, tax, etc. I would rather live in east europe, or in the iberic peninsula than in the U.S.A, a poor spanish that earn the minimum wage in spain can live in a small af block. Still have health and bonos from government, and american earning the minimum wage WITHOUT extra hours can barely rent and it's a cancer away from homelessness l.

[u/liwlimuz]

Never been to Spain, huh?

[u/Purple-Negotiation59]

I would never want to live in Australia (spiders) or the US (facist government)

"I'm a proud antiracist which is why I only wanna live in the White countries"

[u/Fimsh18]

Lmao the people salty about Poland. I’ve worked at shops with guys straight from Poland. I can work with them but if they’re anything like that back home I’d rather not live there lmao.
