Culturally, it&#39;s still close to Europe/US (compared to, say, Asia).&#xA;&#xA;2. There&#39;s plenty of space, and it&#39;s relatively easy to live &#34;off the radar&#34; (hectares of land can be bought cheaply, and building permits are processed quickly).&#xA;&#xA;3. Paraguay has excellent cuisine (top-quality beef in the world).&#xA;&#xA;4. The locals are welcoming—if you make at least a minimal effort to integrate (basic Spanish and respect for local culture), they will accept you with open arms.&#xA;&#xA;5. Taxes—Paraguay has a territorial tax system and a very simple tax structure (10% on local income).&#xA;&#xA;6. If you stay away from politics and drugs, it&#39;s quite safe. Some of the better neighborhoods in Asunción are very safe (even at night).&#xA;&#xA;7. No culture wars.&#xA;&#xA;8. Crypto-friendly—capital gains from crypto are not taxed, and it&#39;s even possible to buy real estate with crypto. Plus, there is now a strong Bitcoin community (nostr:nprofile1qqs060dkmmlmww0cqcpxaqw3erveesj950ecdt9m4w5dexphzrr7sxsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uptclu0).&#xA;&#xA;9. Family-friendly—Paraguayans love children, and family comes first.&#xA;&#xA;10. Business environment—Paraguayans are capitalists, and a large portion of the population runs their own businesses. Success is celebrated, not shamed. There are also plenty of opportunities to start new ventures.&#xA;&#xA;11. Geopolitically insignificant—South America is not a major geopolitical player and remains largely disconnected from the developed world (though this is changing rapidly).&#xA;&#xA;12. Cheap transportation—you can get around the city (Asunción) using Bolt or Uber for $1.5–$5 (depending on distance). Diesel costs around $1 per liter. If you like big cars, it won’t hurt your wallet as much.&#xA;&#xA;I could go on, but I think this gives a good idea... </html></oembed>
