Out of all the places to live i would put America at the top of mine, hey Bruce you got a spare room??
If he feels like it doesn't represent what he wants because he's conservative he's screwed, because it's the least socialist of the modern economies, unless you go for something more extreme in the middle east or an African dictatorship. Maybe UAE is moderate enough while being strict. if he feels USA isn't for him because he's liberal, well, he's in luck, because everwhere seems more liberal now.
