Bhutan or bust.
I'll answer the question too: I voted, "I want to move to another country." I have wanted and been working toward that for the last 12 years, in various ways.
I'll admit it hasn't been easy to stay persistent or patient for or after so long, but I'm still keeping at it. At the very least, I don't think it's as far away as it was 12 years ago.

Why Bhutan in specific?
Toronto, Canada. Here I was born, here I will die. I'll be buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetary, which I look out on every day.

Stay put (England) but have a mad idea of moving to Shetland.
If you had to move outside Canada, where would you go?
England has Manchester United, so no country can beat that advantage!
(Yes, they're my favorite team, despite their hypertension-inducing performances in the last several years.)
I remember reading once that it had no social cushioning program, and the justice system was lacking.
Then it explained that this was because people naturally came together to assure needs were met without the need of government requirements, and there had been little need for a justice system, as there were seldom any major issues.
I thought that sounded beautiful...
There's also certain places you're required to wear traditional wear in...
I love traditional wear.
Staying put in Revoltistan (SE MI).
Where would you go to if you had to move to another country?
Ontario, Canuckistan.
Don't know which town, but I'd want easy access to PA.
I hear @Evangelicalhumanist may be willing to shell out a generous sum for an antique engine. I'll connect you two for a business meeting!
I'm undecided. I wouls move to a different part of the US if the opportunities were promising enough (especially if I was moving with a significant other). Another country seems like it would be much more difficult, and I'm not sure where I'd want to move. I'm a weather wuss due to living in California my whole life, so I don't want to move anywhere it snows or is excessively stormy (like the Southern US, where they have to deal with hurricanes every year).
I don't think his "generous" rises to the level of my "generous".
This is, unfortunately, hard for me.
I'm a Pagan and a Druid who practices a very indigenous way of life. I develop meaningful relations with the other-than-human persons/spirits/gods of the land here. My religious practices (or lifeways if you prefer) are oriented around a sense of place and the place is part of who I am as a person. As they say you can take the Druid out from the forest, but you cannot take the forest out of the Druid, so to speak. But abandoning these lands would be abandoning part of why I am, and that would be... it would not be fun. Getting to know other spirits/gods/persons of place would be wonderful, but leaving behind everything I am and have ever known? Nah.
Which is unfortunate, because policies enacted in my state have become outright hostile who and what I am. If I happen to loose my job, there is little question that I will look to move into a different state but in the same ecoregion to maintain connections as much as I can. The same ecoregion will be the same familiar spirits/gods/persons of place that I know already, just a little different. If there is still Tallgrass Prairie, if there is still Savannah, if there is still Eastern Deciduous Forest, if there is still Spirits of the Four Seasons? I can make that work. I would miss Great Rock, I would miss Shimmerleaf Lake, but there would be local sacred sites to find in the new place.

I knew a guy who lived there, dead now unfortunately. He said it needs a special something to be one with the weather.
We wanted to move from the UK to Italy but for various reasons settled on France. We moved in 2015 and would have it any other way.
France's advantage: Fewer Italians.
Italy's advantage: Fewer Froggies.
England, London.
