Belgium, Belize, Bel Air...all the same from some perspectives I suppose.
So, who knows what about Belize?

Doubtful. He's had it going on ten years now and has been there a number of times. He's going again for six weeks starting in a month or so.

Hot and Humid and used as a tax haven by Michael Ashcroft.
I heard crime, like many places in Latin America and the Caribbean, was really bad in Belize. But I did a google search and read an article that said it was mostly just a problem in Belize City. It doesn't look like residency is all that hard to get either, there was an article linked to that article I read about crime about residency.
We could start a Civ Fanatics group of Americans who live abroad since if you move there I think there will be about 6 of us.

Are you doing this legally, or 'off the books'? It's harder (but not impossible) to emigrate as a convicted felon.

Little o' this, little o' that.
mmhh...John McAfee lived in Belize, before he had to flee from there because he thought the government was after him (Corruption and crime seem to be a problem down there).
That's roughly all I know, besides that they also speak English there.

BTW: If you do move and have a US income, make sure before you go that you have a way of getting it to you.
I have both pension money and Social Security benefits coming in. Neither can be sent outside of the U.S. What I do is have both deposited into my US credit union. Then I write checks on it and have them deposited here.
Recently, I had problem with my credit union when it changed my account number without telling me. I'd like to switch to someone else, but I can't find any US financial institution that will set up an account for someone living outside of the US. So, I'm stuck with them.
Also, check printing companies here cannot print checks for US accounts. Meanwhile, US check printing companies must send the checks to the address on the checks, and that address must be within the U.S. So, getting new checks is a problem.

What are checks?
More seriously, direct deposit to an account with a debit card...the homeless man's bank.
