Poland is likely the closest to what you're looking for.

Krakow is pretty fun, so no I don't think Poland is what he is looking for.

Ireland sounds close maybe? If you fancy moving over there property is dirt cheap since the market crashed

However I'm more interested in why you are looking for such a place?

No idea why you would want to live in such a place, but...there's no accounting for tastes. However, many of the countries mentioned do NOT fit criteria #4 or 5. E.g. Mexico & Colombia are not safe by any world standards. "Fairly robust civil society" (competitive politics) leaves out virtually all of Africa & much of Asia. Guinea? Is that some kinda joke?

The more religious a country is, the more messed up it is. And the other way around.

As long as you're 100% sure your ethnic background is clean, the Third Reich should fit the bill

- (Weekly) Church attendance is a big part of life. CHECK (subjective)

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?
