With what happened in Cyprus it's worth planning for if the world goes into meltdown and your money is confiscated. Small island nations seem vulnerable due to lack of army, national resources and over reliance on banking (BVI, Cayman,etc)
My short list
1. Switzerland
Great economy, stays out of war, independent government not bullied by EU or USA, etc. Very high quality of life. Very hard to become a citizen though and in tough times will keep out non-citizens
2. Norway
Loads of oil, stable economy and generous welfare payments. In event of SHTF they are likely to let in high numbers before closing doors. Tolerant people with a high quality of life.
3. Australia
Huge mining industry, loads of land and resources. Good relationship with China. Likely to be more friendly to those of Northern European origin
4. Singapore
Hard to become a citizen but highly stable country. Will likely favour skilled persons of any background. Strong economy and entrepreneurial people
5. Brazil
Lots of oil, gold, etc. no enemies, no wars since 19th century and loads of land. A country where a Jew, black man, etc could become Brazilian. Little in way of welfare.
6. Cape Verde
Richest country in Africa, far from war or conflict. Tolerant of both Jews and Christians, etc. little in way of natural resources and poor compared to other contenders
