[2020-09-30]如果你必须在第三世界国家度过余生，你会选择哪个国家，为什么？

John Garrison History Buff, Accountant, and International Adventurer
I’m an American and the short answer for me is:
Uruguay
The original definition of third world is meant to be, any nation not aligned with the first world(NATO) and the second world(USSR).
So there are a lot of pretty interesting countries in the third world, apparently Sweden, Ireland, and Finland would classify as the third world. You could theoretically answer this question by saying you would move to one of these nations, but that’s no fun because these countries are extremely developed. So if I were to move to a developing nation in the third world for the rest of my life, I would look at 3 things.
1.) Safety(that’s the biggest thing, I want to be able to take comfort in the safety of myself and my family).

【回答】历史迷，会计师，国际冒险家
我是一个美国人，简短的回答是：乌拉圭
第三世界最初的定义是，任何不与第一世界(北约)和第二世界(苏联)结盟的国家。
所以第三世界有很多非常有趣的国家，显然瑞典、爱尔兰和芬兰被归为第三世界。理论上，你可以说你会搬到这些国家中的其中一个，来回答这个问题，但这并不有趣，因为这些国家非常发达。因此，如果我将在余生中移居到第三世界的某个发展中国家，我会考虑三件事。
1.)安全(这是最重要的事情，我希望对自己和家人的安全感到安心)。

2.) Overall happiness(Are people happy with their quality of life? If so then that would be a place I’d like to move there)
3.) Lack of Corruption(I don’t want to live somewhere that wastes my tax money on trivial things, and I certainly don’t want police to pull me over for no reason and demand a bribe)
(this last one eliminates a lot of nations because apparently globally corruption is pretty bad)
Still though there are a few nations that jumped out to me as fulfilling all of these criteria, and being a developing third world nation.

2.)总体幸福感(人们对自己的生活质量感到幸福吗？如果是这样的话，那么我想搬到那里去)
3.)没有腐败(我不想生活在一个把纳税人的钱浪费在琐碎小事上的地方，我当然也不想让警察无缘无故地把我拉到路边索要贿赂)
(最后这一条就排除了许多国家，因为显然全球范围内的腐败相当严重)
尽管如此，仍然有一些国家在我看来符合所有这些标准，并且是一个发展中的第三世界国家。

After looking at the top 50 least corrupt countries, and comparing them to the happiness index, the peace index, and the list of third world countries, I’ve come up with the following map.
Chile, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Qatar, Bhutan, and Malaysia.
Personally I’d go to either Chile or Uruguay. I love soccer, love the Spanish language, and love the food of both countries.
After taking environmental factors(earthquakes especially) into consideration Uruguay is looking like the place for me.
(note: Uruguay is not a perfect country, but no country is perfect, they obviously still have safety issues, threats of natural disasters, some corruption, etc. but as far as countries(especially in the third world) go, Uruguay is among the best)

在研究了前50个最不腐败的国家，并将它们与幸福指数、和平指数和第三世界国家的名单进行比较之后，我得出了以下地图。
智利、哥斯达黎加、乌拉圭、卡塔尔、不丹和马来西亚。
就我个人而言，我会去智利或者乌拉圭。我喜欢足球，喜欢西班牙语，喜欢这两个国家的美食。
在考虑了环境因素后(尤其是地震)，乌拉圭看起来就是我想去的地方。
(注：乌拉圭不是一个完美的国家，但没有一个国家是完美的，他们显然仍然有安全问题，自然灾害的威胁，一些腐败等，但就国家(特别是第三世界国家)而言，乌拉圭是最好的)

I am from Argentina, very close to Uruguay, and I want to congratulate you for your choise. I know Uruguay very well, and I certify that Uruguay is a great small country where to live.

【回复】我来自阿根廷，离乌拉圭很近，我想祝贺你的选择。我非常了解乌拉圭，我保证乌拉圭是一个适合居住很棒的小国。

Markus Williams
In the most recent World Happiness Index, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Panama, and Chile are Latin American countries that scored higher than Uruguay.
And as for the Corruption Perception Index, it’s based on perception, which means it doesn’t measure actual corruption… Also, Ireland is definitely not third world.

【回复】在最新的世界幸福指数中，危地马拉、墨西哥、巴西、巴拿马和智利是得分高于乌拉圭的拉丁美洲国家。
至于腐败感觉指数，它是基于感觉的，这意味着它不能衡量实际的腐败情况... 此外，爱尔兰绝对不是第三世界国家。

Jose Ortiz
Good choice. But I wish to have been born in Mexico. All the tacos, enchiladas & burritos, plus tequila for me! And the Mexican senioritas are quite nice!

【回复】不错的选择。但是我希望出生在墨西哥。玉米饼，墨西哥卷饼，还有我的龙舌兰酒！墨西哥妹子们也很不错！

Jose Ortiz
Also Mexicans are known for their wild sense of humor!

【回复】墨西哥人还以他们狂野的幽默感而闻名！

Ana Paula Gouvêa de Barros
It’s a great choice! I visited uruguay years ago and is such a nice country!

【回复】这是一个很棒的选择! 我年前访问了乌拉圭，这是一个很美好的国家！

Sean Young Senior Consultant at International Development
It’s an impossible question to answer as I have no desire to remain in one country for the rest of my life. It would have to be a place where
* I can speak the language i.e. English, French or Spanish (which rules out most of Asia and Africa)
* Where I need neither air-conditioning nor heating (which rules out most of Africa, most northern countries, most of Asia) for most of the year.
* A place with high cultural variety and interest
* A place with good healthcare and decent infrastructure
* A place that is not insecure to an unreasonable degree (natural or man-caused).
Mexico (of the countries that I know)
Some people are concerned about insecurity in Mexico but it has been targeted to those in the drug trade and mostly border zones. Nonetheless, it is something of which to be aware. (Nowhere is “ideal” in the world from this point of view.)

【回答】国际发展高级顾问
这是一个无法回答的问题，因为我不想在一个国家度过余生。它必须是这样一个地方：
* 我能说英语、法语或西班牙语的地方(这排除了大部分亚洲和非洲国家)
* 我一年大部分时间都不需要空调和取暖设备的地方(这排除了非洲大部分地区、大部分北方国家和亚洲大部分地区)。
* 一个文化多元化和富有特色的地方。
* 一个拥有良好医疗保健和良好基础设施的地方。
* 一个没有不安全到不合理程度的地方(自然或人为的)。
墨西哥(我所知道的国家)
一些人担心墨西哥的不安全，但它主要集中在毒品交易和主要边境地区。尽管如此，我们还是要注意的。(从这个角度来看，世界上没有什么地方是“理想”的。)

Climate of Highlands. Perfect climate in the highlands of the central plains. Not hot, not cold, not humid.
World class and varied food. No, I’m not talking about the ersatz Tex-Mex slosh but the World Cutural Heritage Cuisine, the center of which is Puebla. Highest number of World Heritage Sites in the Americas.
Other factors: Proximity and logistics. Healthcare in major cities. Esthetics of modern architecture. Hospitality.
Other possibilities
Colombia (like Mexico but fewer World Heritage Sites and less varied cuisine) - to be explored in future
Uruguay (may be too small and isolated), Argentina (a bit isolated and lacking cultural variety), Chile (earthquake and tsunami risk; isolated), Peru (highlands)
South Africa - Cape area (Mediterranean climate but isolated and unknown security.

高地气候。完美的中部平原高地气候。不炎热，不寒冷，不潮湿。
世界级和多样化的食物。不，我说的不是仿造的德克萨斯-墨西哥菜，而是世界文化遗产美食，其中心是普埃布拉。美洲最高数量的世界遗产。
其他因素：距离和物流。主要城市的医疗保健。现代建筑的美学。酒店。
其他可能性：哥伦比亚(就像墨西哥一样，但是世界遗产地很少，菜肴种类也较少)——未来有待探索，乌拉圭(可能太小和孤立) ，阿根廷(有点孤立和缺乏文化多样性) ，智利(地震和海啸风险; 孤立) ，秘鲁(高地)
南非 - 开普地区(地中海气候，但与世隔绝，安全状况也不明)。

You might have to rule out Brazil since they speak Portuguese.

【回复】你可能不得不排除巴西，因为他们讲葡萄牙语。

Sean Young
You’re right. Although, lusophones can largely understand Hispanophones.

【回复】你说得对。不过，讲葡萄牙语的人基本上能听懂西班牙语。

Carolyn Patton
Costa Rica which is where I'm headed . Health care is cheap and so good that Americans go there for dental and health care to pay less than at home.plus it is only 3 hour plane ride from Texas Or Florida .

【回复】哥斯达黎加，就是我要去的地方。医疗保健既便宜又好，美国人去那里看牙医和医疗保健的费用比在老家还要少。而且从德克萨斯州或佛罗里达州乘飞机只需3小时。

Shoaib Khan
Mexico is damn dangerous

【回复】墨西哥非常危险

Aziz Jalel
You can survive easily with French in Tunisia :)
Many French persons are living there after their retirement :)
Good choice !

【回复】你用法语可以很容易在突尼斯生活 ：)
许多法国人退休后住在那里 :)
不错的选择！

Joe Hall Lived in The UK all my life.
I would opt for the Caribbean. The Caribbean is picturesque, and it's where my parents are from; so I have the automatic right to live there. And as I am a graduate, I could participate in the Caribbean's “Freedom of movement” scheme, if I took out a Jamaican passport as my second passport. But I have a British passport, so probably wouldn't need to take out a Jamaican passport to travel around the Caribbean.
Also they speak English. No tropical diseases like in Africa. 1st world health care system. Luxury hotels and villas. I could make a good living through holiday rentals. And if I ever get seriously ill Miami is only an hour's flight away.
And come retirement I can pick up an index linked British state pension in Jamaica, Barbados, & on a few of the other islands. I wouldn't have to return to the UK.

【回答】在英国生活了一辈子。
我会选择加勒比地区。加勒比地区风景如画，我的父母就是从那里来的，所以我自然有权住在那里。作为一名毕业生，如果我申请牙买加护照作为我的第二本护照的话，我可以参加加勒比海的“行动自由”计划。但是我有英国护照，所以环游加勒比海可能不需要申请牙买加护照。
他们也说英语。没有像非洲那样的热带疾病。第一世界的卫生保健系统。豪华酒店和别墅。我可以通过租度假屋过上好日子。如果我得了重病，从迈阿密飞一个小时就到了。
到退休的时候，我可以在牙买加、巴巴多斯和其他一些岛屿领取与指数挂钩的英国国家养老金。我就不用回英国了。

It probably saves the UK tax payer money, when Caribbean migrants die “back home” rather than in the UK. That’s why I rekon the UK government has agreed to pay retirees who opt to live in the Caribbean, West Africa, The Philippines, & in a few other Commonwealth countries the same pension rate as they would have got had they opted to stay on in the UK after retirement. Long haul flights back to the UK for treatment when you are in your 80s or 90s may be out of the question at that age.

当加勒比海移民死在“家乡”而不是英国时，这可能会为英国纳税人省钱。这就是为什么英国政府已经同意向那些选择居住在加勒比海、西非、菲律宾和其他几个英联邦国家的退休人员支付退休金。当你80多岁或90多岁的时候，长途飞回英国接受治疗也许是不可能的。

Using Cold War era definitions:
Either Finland or Singapore would be my first choices. Probably Singapore #1, Finland #2 then #3 would have to be some other unaligned region in the pacific.
Singapore is a culturally diverse city, with many familiarities (& food) that would make me feel more at home there. It is advanced, commercially successful with networking stretching across the globe. It’s also in my top 8 for cities globally. It’s not a large country, but I feel I could be content given the opportunity.

使用冷战时期的定义：
我的首选是芬兰或新加坡。也许新加坡排名第一，芬兰排名第二，然后排名第三，可能是太平洋上其他未结盟的地区。
新加坡是一个文化多元的城市，有许多熟悉的地方(和食物) ，使我感觉更像在家里。它很先进，商业上很成功，网络遍布全球。它也在我的全球城市排行榜的前8名之列。它不是一个大国，但我觉得能有这个机会我会很满足的。

Ley Lujuo Born and Raised in a Third World.
If by "Third World" you mean "Developing Countries" then I'll opt for my country, Tanzania.
Why?
* Peaceful (We haven't had War since the 70s with Uganda)
* People here are nice to foreigners. (No Xenophobia)
* National Parks, we have the best national parks you can enjoy visiting in the world.
* Reasonable living standard.
* Come on man, come over :).
The only setback you will have to learn Swahili.

【回答】在第三世界出生和长大。
如果你说的“第三世界”是指“发展中国家”，那么我会选择我的国家坦桑尼亚。
为什么？
* 和平(自70年代与乌干达的战争以来，我们就没有战争)
* 这里的人们对外国人很友好(没有仇外心理)
* 国家公园，我们有世界上最好的国家公园，你可以尽情游览。
* 合理的生活水平。
* 来吧，朋友，过来吧 :)
唯一的挫折是你必须学习斯瓦希里语。
