If you want a smaller government that functions and has the least amount of bureaucracy, a theory I have is that the best option is to become a citizen of a somewhat temperate country that has industrialized (ofc you have to be naturalized first; but that’s a separate topic)

The theory is - the more people you have to manage, the bigger the bureaucracy. Right, so focus on smaller countries, low population size or population density that have high GDP per capita — I’m thinking countries like Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Singapore, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Malta, Ireland, Qatar, Bahrain, etc to a certain extent Norway, Denmark, Slovenia etc

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I also think it’s a good strategy to see the audience as global and to start as (or become) the citizen of an “influential” country and maximize your potential to build a platform of influence in order to reach the globe—I am an English-speaking, native citizen of the United States; Bezos is here, Musk is here, but so is Malala, and so on.

Speaking from this mountain, launching from this springboard, so to speak, creates an incredible reach and velocity with which one can influence everything else.

I suspect that as values, attitudes, and infrastructure continue to evolve that this will change, but for now my advice would be for anyone who wants to change the world to reach for that lever.
