If before you were born you could chose the country where you're born, which country would you chose? I'm not asking which race you would be. That's flame bait. I'm asking which country and why?

I'd have been born an Australian b/c of the country's beauty and awesome accent! They also seem to be a rational sort despite the fact they're almost all descended from criminals!

They're rational because they all descended from criminals:)

I would choose monaco because that would mean i was rich and had tax exemption. Do prinicpalities count?

Whatever country/area is the best balance between low commercialism/advertising penetration and high access to amenities and information.

Azores, maybe? Madagascar?

Somewhere in Europe because then I could have gotten a Euro work visa to use when I wanted to do some extended work/travel as a young adult.

Edit: I just Wikied Sealand. Excellent. Someone should make a movie based on that.

How can you choose what country you're born in if you aren't born?

It's a bit like Scrodumgers cat. How'd he know he was a cat if nobody let him out of his box and pointed at him?
