Those countries tend to be very hard to get into. You've got to pretty much prove that you will not be a drain on their social services.

But everyone, good luck with that. If you find the way, let me know. I'd love to live in Yorkshire Eng or Vancouver Canada.
I'm thinking much more of South America - Chile and Uruguay especially strike me as interesting, especially Uruguay. There have been some interesting legal decisions in Uruguay lately - legal adoptions by gay parents, legal gay marriage, and legal marijuana (I don't partake but I think this US war on drugs is totally asinine). Rob Both have socialized medicine and in Uruguay it's only 20 years of work until you qualify for a pension - this is set in place as in Uruguay the mentality is that work is an evil necessity, why prolong it and let life pass you by? Truly my kind of thinking.....
