Which world from Gulliver's Travels would you most want to live in? Assume everyone in every nation speaks English, or your natural language. You can choose to either be a native there, or a visitor who moves there, like Gulliver.

- LILLIPUT (Indonesia) : Everyone is only six inches tall. Everyone are tiny little insect-people and equally as petty and immature, but are pretty wealthy and live in luxury. They fight with their equally tiny rivals to the north, Blefuscu (also Indonesia).

- BROBDINGNAG (Alaska/America) : Everyone are giant 72-foot tall gods and goddesses, and are generally kind and warm-hearted and treat most people with love and respect. But most citizens who aren't the Queen are dirt poor and their 'technology' is stuck in the late19th century to where even airplanes don't exist. Their capital city (Fairbanks) is where the kind of beautiful queen lives.

- LAPUTA / BALNIBARBI (New Caledonia) : A flying island nation where everyone is an intellectual genius, but also an a**hole, and nothing ever really gets accomplished in society due to a mix of laziness, incompetence, and arrogance. Laputa is a flying island, but the landmass the elites originated from below them is Balnibarbi, which they leave to the "unwashed masses."

- HOUYHNHNM (Kerguelen Islands) : A utopia ruled by intelligent, benevolent talking horses, but the humans there (Yahoos) are feral and wild. Their capital (Grande Terre) is where most of the horse inhabitants live. It is extremely isolated, triangulated between Madagascar, Australia, and Antarctica, and almost no one even knows it exists.

- ENGLAND (the United Kingdom) : It's exactly everything you think it is: Busty, pale, overweight women with annoying accents, and an obsession for beer and soccer. The weather is generally pretty lousy and the food sucks. However, overall, it's a pretty okay place and the inhabitants seem to be fairly okay (ish?).
