If you'd be expelled from your country, where would you go?
Well, we assume that you are for some reasons expelled from your country (let's not discuss about them) and you cuould seek for assylum. What would be ten states you'd like to live the most and ten states you'd like to live the least?

For me:
10 states I'd want to live the most (first the best, second if first doesn't agrees to let me in, etc.):
1. Saudi Arabia
2. United Arab Emirates
3. Australia
4. Chile
5. New Zealand
6. Quatar
7. Japan
8. USA
9. South Korea
10. Andorra

10 states I'd like to live the least (first the worst, second not so bad, etc.)
1. Russia
2. Zimbabwe
3. South African Republic
4. Lesotho
5. Sierra Leone
6. Bangladesh
7. Nigeria
8. Haiti
9. Israel
10. Equador

5. Martinique (which is France/EU)
6. Norway
7. Sweden 8. Finland
9. Canda
10 USA

11 Japan

The least

0. Palestine (it is not a state yet )
1. Iraq
2.Sudan

It's amazing what a difference prevailing winds can make. Helsinki's at like 60 degrees latitude, Montreal's at 45 degrees, but Montreal's slightly colder.

For me to be expelled from "my country" would involve a combined effort by the Chinese, the British, and the American embassies.

If I were to be expelled by America, Britain, or China, I would go to one of the other two.

Currently I am in America. My choice of countries would be thus:

1. China (including Taiwan)
2. Great Britain
3. Canada
4. Korea (South)
5. Japan
6. Thailand
7. Brazil
8. Malaysia
9. Indonesia
10. Singapore

The countries that I would not want to go to would be anywhere in Africa that is a war zone (which is more or less 80% of them) or Eastern Europe.

!. Ireland
2. Italy
3. Australia
4. Canada
5. New Zealand
6. USA
7. Spain
8. Portugal
9. Cayman Islands
10. Bahamas

Although I like it here in the UK anyway!

Places to avoid would be anywhere in the Middle East (apart from possibly Israel), and most African countries - due to war problems.
