 There’s a great book by @9df064a5 about this very thing. “Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires”

I moved to New Zealand and I think it is a pretty amazing place to be, especially with the rise of authoritarianism and climate change. Not because it’s a good place to build a bunker in the remote mountains of the South Island. Aotearoa New Zealand is a place with incredibly high trust, even with political divides the politics and culture here is cooperative. Sure the natural resources are tremendous and the place is isolated, but that’s not what makes it work. What makes it work is people see the humanity in each other and believe that’s more important than anything else.  
 Then one can only hope that those who have moved in from outside will also adopt this local culture and mindset.
