Where in world has this criteria:

2. Government not grossly corrupt.
3. Government educated and competent.
4. People follow the rules of the road.
5. Police not mostly criminal and are competent.
6. You don't need to be worried about getting robbed/hijacked all the time
7. The weather "jumpable' most of the year
8. A wind tunnel not too far away (I am flexible on the tunnel)
9. Large skydiving community

Germany:
1. Yes, though not very well.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Mostly.
5. Yes.
6. Yes for 95% of the places.
7. No, only about six month.
8. Only one in Bottrop (Charleroi or Prague reachable, depending on where you live).
9. About 10.000.

So I guess language and weather are the killers for you. ;)

IMHO, those will be your stumbling blocks just about anywhere... How much corruption is gross? How competent is competent? What % of the rules? Depending on how lenient you are there, Florida might be in...

Also, weed's legal.
I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Just this morning in sunny South Africa...

I commute to work via a train known as Gautrain.

A piece of shit taxi "gang" was beating up a women outside Gautrain station. Ran up to them while trying to find pepper spray that was not there (got new bike pants last night and pepper spray in the old ones).
One dude threatened me to stay away. Couple other people came came to help too.
Pretty much as I got there it stopped.
I then took photos and videos of them. They were threatening me.
Apparently what happened before was the taxi cut her off (as per usual). They started swearing at each other. Taxi driver got out and started smashing her mirrors and and windows and then she pepper sprayed him. They caught up with her by Gautrain...

Taxis think they own the road. If you park by the Gautrain they threaten you saying its there spot....

The only country I've been to where I have seen people sleeping just off the sidewalks because they were too drunk to walk home, and nobody fucked with them.
