I am constantly thinking about moving from the US to somewhere nice, please advise me some countries, here are my "wish list" of the country where I would love to live:

- Civilized people

- No extradition

- Government is small and it respects people's freedom and privacy (which are protected by constitution), real freedom of speech, not the one when you can be arrested for a tweet, even if it leaked state secret or offended someone or infringed a copyright. No copyright laws at all would be awesome.

- No secret services

- Reasonable laws, no death penalty or life sentence, very small quantity of law enforcement

- Small ratio of NumberOfPeople/NumberOfPeopleInJails

- >1 million population in at least one city

- At least some IT industry

- Good and affordable health infrastructure

- No CCTVs in public places and no traffic cameras

Somalia might fit your bill. They have a non-functioning government. No working law enforcement. Not sure about the health infrastructure though.

But I'm sure it's a paradise compared to the cultural ignorance and savage tyranny of life in these United States...

Maybe it is because I have been living too long in this country, but I am not actually sure whether you are being serious or not. This country irrespective of whatever its faults is still light years ahead of many parts of the world; Ethiopia where I grew up used to have a policy where the family of people who used to get shot by the government had to pay for the cost of the spent bullets before the body would be released.

I'm not being even remotely serious. I was mocking slashdotaccount's "wish list", which amounted to little more than a list of prejudices and grievances about the United States.
