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

⚠RIGHT-HAND DRIVE — continental European cars unusable
⚠Traffic in Port Louis and Grand Baie is heavy during peak hours despite the island's small size
⚠Cyclone season (Nov–Apr): keep car in garage if possible; hail and flood damage not uncommon

Mauritius is a mid-tier car market with import duties and right-hand-drive constraints. A car is essential on the island — public transport is limited. Japanese imports offer the best value.
