In a societal collapse scenario, you probably want to live in a country with decent defence ability and enough clout to throw its weight around in international diplomacy, even if quality of life is lower than some of the smaller, better located, better governed countries. Eg. Germany over Sweden.

Due to climate change, Germany will become Spain (and Spain will become north of Africa) by 2050. So, perhaps the north of Sweden would suit better.

Where do you people get that nonsense from?

I admit I was a bit sensationalistic. But I wouldn't call it "nonsense". Just check the way the average temperatures have changed in Southern and Northern Europe and you'll see that, indeed, they have increased. Of course, this doesn't mean anything in itself (I'm no scientist!) but hey, we are here talking about the year 2050... 100% of us have no clue of what the world will look like in that year; hence here we are, beting.
