India has a fairer legal system. It offers a great balance between what Max wanted and what you describe. I'm curious why didn't India come up as an option for Max.
India has it fair share of massive bureaucracy and bribery corruption. Plus the basic infrastructure is rather lacking. You don't want to buy electric generator when you are small.
Maybe it's because of visa issues or because India is so notorious for red tape. Personally I would feel much more comfortable in a democratic, english speaking country such as India where human rights and freedom of speech are taken more seriously.
