Is there a place like this this (a city, state, or especially country):

- Abortion is illegal
- Marriage is between a man-and-a-woman
- Predominantly Christian (Catholic)
- Safe is important, but wealth is not
- Fairly robust civil society (competitive politics)
- I don't care about socialized medicine, and moral issues are more important than economic ones, but it should be a fairly pro-market place.
- Sexual mores are conservative (no premarital sex, adultery, etc.)
- Families are large and important (kids are valued).
- (Weekly) Church attendance is a big part of life.

Here are a few ideas, though I don't know if they are accurate: Ireland, United States, Poland, Peru, Mexico, Colombia...do any of those fit? Any other ideas?

Europe, 100 years ago.

I have to warn you though, some bad **** is about to happen.

Nice gimmick op.

If you're willing to relax #3 you could try Saudi Arabia.

Some place in Africa might fit the bill.

Mexico, Poland, and Colombia both fit most of your criteria (abortion legality is dealt with at the state level in Mexico.)
Sexual mores are conservative (no premarital sex, adultery, etc.) *The girls put out in all 3 countries.* sorry


If you swap Muslim for Catholic you should find some countries that fit all of your criteria.

If you wait until the end of Newt's second term then Moon Base Alpha should fit the bill nicely.

No one would want to live in a place like this.

Aren't some of the greek (or some Mediterranean country) islands pretty close to this? They are pretty small family oriented communities, take being Orthodox christians really seriously and are known for living an outrageously long time.

I remember seeing some documentary about these towns/islands and the average life expectancy of the island was like 100 or something and a group of researchers were trying to figure how they live so long.

afaik portugal fits to your criteria

except for this:

- Sexual mores are conservative (no premarital sex, adultery, etc.)

then again you wont find a western country that fits to this

but there are a lot of muslim countries you could move to
01-29-2012 , 04:15 PM
OP, I think Portugal, Croatia, and Slovenia fit the bill. Parts of Italy and Sicily also.

You can have an unsafe county full of perverts. I would rather live a peaceful life in a country like what OP mentioned.

and I'd like peace on Earth and for everyone to piss a carbon-free fuel source, but as you get older you settle.

OP if you just let the people tell the story of the town or w/e then every place could be ideal. The problem is no place is ideal. Rumor has it even these muslim countries mentioned itt are treasure troves of hot man-on-man action behind closed doors.

Armenia is a better fit. They're predominantly Orthodox Christians also.
01-29-2012 , 05:18 PM
