Canada. It's English speaking, close to the USA, generally very liberal, tolerant and safe (certainly compared to the USA and UK), good economy, amazing lifestyle.

So far there are no encryption laws in Canada, and nothing on the horizon, although you never know what could happen in future (if we get another idiot like Stephen Harper in power).

Although there are no encryption export laws in Canada, I do believe that there are key disclosure laws and various restrictions against free speech (in particular certain types of drawn pornography). That may not be a problem, but it's certainly worth noting.

Where in Canada, though? Vancouver seems to be where everyone goes, but from what I've heard, that's led to a property boom almost as crazy as London's...

I live on Vancouver Island, near Nanaimo. Prices are much more reasonable, it's a beautiful place to live, there are quite a few startups here, and it's just a 15 min floatplane ride to downtown Vancouver or Victoria.

Only problem might be immigration, but the Start-up Visa Program might be an option:
