Anyone seriously considering an international move — remote workers, families, retirees, founders. You know you want to leave; you just haven't found where you'd actually feel at home.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you an opinion. We give you a score from open data: climate normals, OECD tax tables, WHO healthcare index, Ookla internet speeds. Every number has a source. The quiz learns your trade-offs and ranks accordingly — no generic 'Portugal is great' advice.

How do you score countries?

Ten dimensions (climate, cost, tax, visa, healthcare, safety, language, internet, family, banking), each scored 0–10 from open data. We combine them geometrically, meaning one bad dimension really matters — it can't be averaged away. Hard deal-breakers exclude a country entirely.

Will more countries get a detailed map like Italy?

Yes. Italy is our proof of concept — 8,000 places, comune-level climate, prices, internet, demographics. Portugal, Spain, and UAE are next. Subscribe in the atlas to be notified per country.

Climate normals are 1991–2020 (the WMO 30-year standard — the most meaningful baseline). Tax, visa, and language data refreshes annually. Every number shows its source and year inline — nothing is hidden.

Key gotchas

⚠First registration tax on new cars can reach 40-50% for high-CO2 vehicles — buy Euro 6 low-emission cars to minimise
⚠Fuel prices among highest in Europe (heavily taxed) — fill up outside Athens or at supermarket stations
⚠Island living: car ferries add significant cost if you move a car frequently between islands and mainland

Greece has a notable first-registration tax that can significantly inflate new car prices, but used cars already registered in Greece sidestep this. Annual costs are moderate, fuel is expensive.
