About this test

Choosing a country to live in has almost nothing to do with scenery. It comes down to five very concrete things: the climate your body tolerates across twelve months, the rhythm of the day, what you eat without thinking about it, how strangers address you, and the ratio between what you earn and what a decent flat costs.

This test asks about exactly those five things and nothing else. No question about your dream destination, because a dream destination is a holiday image and living somewhere is a different job. The eight countries here — Japan, Portugal, Canada, Vietnam, Mexico, New Zealand, Morocco, Finland — cover eight very different trade-offs between cost, climate, density and human closeness.

Every result carries a verifiable fact about the country and, more usefully, one line on what you're probably underestimating: Finnish December darkness, Canadian distances, the Portuguese gap between salaries and rents, New Zealand's isolation. A test like this is only worth taking if it also names the price.

How it works

Each answer points to one or more countries. All eight appear a comparable number of times, so none is the default result. The percentage breakdown matters here: the runner-up is often the more realistic option of the two.
