Costa Rica, here I come. They don't even have a standing army, and 10% of their Congress is Libertarian.

When the federal government gets a stick up its ass, even moving to NH won't help. :(

The Best Analysis

(Link)
The best historic analysis that I have been able to find leads me to believe that within 10 years or less the United States Government probably institute service for your country at the barrel of a gun.
