In this hypothetical question, even countries with no official immigration system are a possibility.

Since this question is hypothetical, I can just assume what I read on Wikipedia and other sources are correct and it indeed is a free country.
The only other country I know would be a rather good fit for me would be Austria. Not because of its politics but because I enjoy the landscapes and the language.
I don’t know enough about countries more politically in line with my views. They’re always sabotaged by foreign powers so it would probably be less comfortable than where I am now (Sweden).
Edit: I might be rather content in Scotland if they were to ever regain independence. The UK gives the impression of being one step ahead of Sweden in the dismantling of their welfare state, so unfortunately I wouldn’t consider that an option right now. Aside from that, I do like the landscapes and accents of northern England.
Out of the loop, is Sweden dismantling their welfare state? I thought the Swedish social democracy was doing pretty well.
Pressure from the right has resulted in a lot of compromises and our social democratic party has become more or less centrist. Sweden has been a neo-liberal country for a while now.
I’m disabled, and the lack of support and resources has me living entirely dependent on my partner. No social or economical assistance whatsoever because of how hard they try to find any details they can use to disqualify you.

Apparently Japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn for English-only speakers (harder than Chinese), and my own experience with Chinese can tell you that the writing system is extremely hard to learn and there are no clues from the spoken language that can help you figure out how it’s written. Obviously it doesn’t affect a hypothetical scenario, but since you mentioned the language I thought it’d chime in. No argument that the Japanese language is pretty though.

i think i shall go to somewhere with fast post system.
China, of course.
Interestingly, I can in theory move back to China despite no longer being a citizen because I have a Chinese birth certificate, but I can’t read and write Chinese so I doubt I’d succeed there 🤷
Apparently a lot of countries do this, where they will reinstate your citizenship if you were born there, or at least you don’t have to go through the normal immigration process.
