I would live in Japan. Beautiful country overall and close to the rest of the world, aka not the U.S. I wouldn't have to spend a boatload of money to travel to Europe, Asia or Australia if I lived there as well.
Europe is further from Japan than it is from the US.
OT: Difficult question, wouldn't want to be stuck in one place my whole life. If someone offered me a decent job in Curacao, I would go right away. Same goes for Australia, civilized Asia, the US, Scandinavia.
