What non-extradition country would you go to?

[madoka]

Assuming you wanted to leave the country because you didn't want to go to jail for the rest of your life, what non-extradition country would you go to?

Me, Vietnam would be my top choice. Low cost of living and I wouldn't mind eating pho for the rest of my life. China and Saudi Arabia would also be good choices as I have powerful friends there.

Here's a list of countries that don't have an extradition treaty with the US for reference:

Afghanistan
Algeria
Andorra
Angola
Armenia
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Belarus

Russia. There's a lot of land to get lost in, and it gets cold. Good for thinking.

Marshall Islands seems pretty remote and tropical. wonder how the internet is though

I've heard Maldives is incredibly beautiful (and I've seen pics of course), so I guess I could find a resort there and try to get a job at one.

No thanks to remote Russia, I think I'd rather just go to jail.

Montenegro hands down.

 

[tynopik]

the only really 'western' country on the list is andorra

not good

I've been looking for remote places to retire but I want good game playable/streamable internet. A tough combination.

Indonesia realistically, since you would want to stay low key and it's cheap there and you're right on incredible beaches.

Maldives if we're just talking unrealistically. It's probably ridiculously expensive there, at least based on vacations I've looked at booking there. But that place looks incredible.

Forgot Vatican City. Although it would be somewhat difficult to live entirely in VC and not step foot in Italy...

Andorra is a possibility for me since I love mountains, skiing etc... Although given their previous history as a tax haven, I'm sure they might not permit immigration to just anybody

Otherwise, my vote would be Montenegro followed Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia or Moldova. Probably Montenegro at the top since it is closest to the western Europe. Im good with languages. I like Eastern European and Slavic food. Eastern European chicks are sexy AF. Yes the infrastructure is kinda bad in some of these countries but having spent some time in Europe, Im not really bothered by it.

exactly, i don't consider it a country in any useful sense of the world

 

[amdhunter]

I guess it's pretty obvious I'd go to Niger.

Why?

Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium! Other countries have inferior potassium.

Vietnam would be my first choice. It's cheap with good food. Vietnam has great economic potential. Cambodia would be next. Food is not as good and the country not as developed. So there might be more opportunities to make money there from the ground level. Indonesia would be my third choice. I just have reservation about living in Muslim country.

I am not sure about anything on that list. They mostly are "hot" places, or places led by authoritarian types, or influenced/threatened by neighbors with authoritarian types.

I guess I'd pick Andorra. Its a place I'd actually like to visit for 1. And as its got a pretty developed economy and its in the mountains, it should be nice and cool. Lots of pork and alcohol to enjoy.

However, Andorra is TINY, I would hate being confined to the area the size of a city without having anywhere to travel.


Otherwise, Vietnam would be on my list. I would dislike most of the climate, but I imagine I could dissapear in a town like "Sa Pa" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa_Pa

After looking more carefully at that list I think Mongolia. It has some great trout rivers and streams and plenty of open space. And in the cities you can get fast internet.

[Mayne]

After reading the replies..im gonna stick with Marshall Islands...shit internet be damned.

 

[Rifter]

whichever has the best whiskey and the cheapest hookers.

 

[Jeeebus]

Maldives for sure. The only reason I need to flee is because I looted a ton of money and will live like a king.

 

[crashtech]

I've always wanted to visit Odessa, so I guess I'd give Ukraine a try. Maldives is nice, but living under Sharia might prove onerous on a long-term basis.

Micronesia - island life!
