There are semi-independent organizations for (almost) every Wikipedia language, called Wikimedia Foundation Chapters. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too big of a problem to also move the English Wiki to some other English-speaking country.
The database move is fairly trivial. The entire English Wikipedia, including associated media, fits on an SD card in my phone (with room to spare). If we trust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia, the entire Wikipedia database (including edit history, talks, etc) is 10TB, which can fit on a single M.2 SSD in someone’s pocket. Moving Wikimedia (430 TB) would require a purse of SSDs.
If push comes to shove, I’m sure this in particular wouldn’t be a problem.

I nominate Australia, but we have to run a script to change all the spelling that’s incorrect.
