13. Nice, BUT...
...you might want to cross-correlate that list with one of how easy it is for U.S. citizens to get permanent residency.

Some of those countries make it only possible if a close relative (parent or grandparent) came from there, others require you to have family living there right now. Even Canada, which is fairly open to younger immigrants, basically slams its doors on Americans over 50.

The fact is, some of those nations can have such liberal policies because they keep potential immigrants out -- and, from their point of view, White Anglo-Saxon Americans are every bit as unwelcome as Mexicans are among wingnuts in border states here.
