Have a look at Costa Rica. The climate is.. "anything you want it to be" - there are about 8 microclimates and you can have anything from a "desert island paradise" to "Switerland" (complete with Swiss cows and chalets *s*).
Taxes?? You mean the things that hold down carpets??
There are little taxes in Costa Rica and there is no reason why any webmaster would have to pay any - and, before anyone says "illegal" - it is totally legal.
The other main factors are... the education and health systems are on par with the US, but a fraction of the cost. (Think it costs $240/year for *complete* healthcare coverage for a family of four). The country is *very* stable, does not have an army and stays neutral and friendly with all.
We know a good number of people who have moved here, especially those with families - it's a far more interesting and better enviornment to bring up children.

Nice..., Were in Costa Rica few months ago too, and the place was great. Did not spend that much time to get to know it very well thou. 8 Hours only. But the general impression for me was, it's a poor country, people still begging on the streets. Quite dirty too, but generally a nice place. The right places that is.... Im sure.
This one will be on my list of more investigations too! Thanks for the input.
