It's really depressing -- I recall when I used to browse Slashdot a few years ago, all you would ever see tagged "Australia" was censorship and filter proposals.

EDIT: Also depressing is how long the relevant Wikipedia article is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Austral...

That might ax a few plans for US -> AU citizenry.

What country without US extradition is the most socio-libertarian/anarchist friendly?

Good luck with that -- it's a royal PITA to get citizenship in AU.

Usually the countries without US extradition treaties have much more worrying issues, like abysmal civil / human rights records, IIRC. Also, it doesn't stop the US from leaning on them to extradite you as a special case, anyway.

Sometimes what is good is difficult to attain. Otherwise everyone would.

(It's a good thing a dear friend is an immigration atty.)

NZ can't be worse than AU. I am a citizen of both (and DE) and plan to move to NZ myself.

Didn't NZ have that whole fiasco with kowtowing to the US and sending a SWAT team after Kim Dotcom?

After which the prime minister (president equivalent) immediately personally apologised, flamed the police minister, and they have since been good about the whole thing.

Pick a country from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_extradition_... that's in gray.

I think you'd be looking at Vietnam, Andorra, or Croatia, although you could hardly say any were ideal by those measures.

Owww, actually looking at the map I would suggest Taiwan!

Taiwan's cool.

Croatia is a thought. Some Croatian friends mentioned property values are skyrocketing because of pervasive construction. Split is nice too.

Absolutely beautiful coastline and an EU member too (which, I suspect, will mean an extradition treaty with the US will probably apply at some point).
