"Good" Countries for Geeks?

from the good-places-with-sensible-laws? dept.
idiotsavant asks: "Seeing all these stories about governments imposing censorship laws, restrictions on crypto, etc. (specifically the US, Australia and Britain), makes me wonder: Are there any countries where the gov't doesn't do stuff like this? I live in the US, and I'm looking for information about countries with free speech, no boneheaded restrictions on crypto or the like, and a good standard of living with a decent selection of tech-related jobs available (at least in the major cities). I want to know what my options are if my government gets tyrannical. So, does anyone know of a real "land of the free"? " I'd be interested to see if people recommend any non-superpowers. It would be nice to see such a country (be it an existing one, or a new entity) that would set laws that are appropriate for the new millenium.
