Well, I dunno, I'm just kind of assuming that in this thread we are discussing countries that actually exist, and not Disney Land and so on. We're not even sure that communism would work, so your comment about 'communist concensus democracies' seem a bit out of the topic as there are no such countries.

France is a relevant answer, not the land where there are mountains of chocolate and rivers of whiskey.

New Zealand

I agree!
Ok this might be biased because I live here, but it really is a nice place to live. Although it's quite common to experience all four seasons in one day over here (that's not just a myth!) there's no extremes in temperature except in the South Island in Winter and some lower parts of the North Island. I don't know anyone elses reasons for wanting to live here but for me, it's just a really laid back place. We hear about what chaos is going on in other parts of the world and think..."Wow, we're lucky that we're near the bottom of the earth!".
I'm not saying that bad things don't happen here but you hear people quite often coming to visit NZ and never going back to where they came from.

However if I have to say a country other than my own, I would choose Australia. Nice weather, plenty of opportunities but the downside is the HUGE spiders!!

I was thinking Australia except for the spiders, too...it's the country in the world with the larges tnumber of venomous animals, and while I find them fascinating, I wouldn't want to live with them. NZ is also a good idea, but I heard services are horrible down there. Other than that I was thinking of the UK, but it may already be too crowded out there.

In future, you might want to bother reading the original poster's post in threads, instead of making assumptions.

All government-styles can work, not to mention that "work" is a highly subjective term.

If you'd have bothered reading the thread, you'd realise it was on topic.

The aspie city would be in Fantasia, where:

-Nobody has to work
-Nobody has any bias to anyone or anything
-The law of conservation is false, so infinite energy can be gained from perpetual machines
-Everybody is perfect, flawless
-Nobody has to pay any taxes, ever
-Death is a redundant concept, and nobody ever gets bored with anything

Now, what good is discussing circumstances that have never been seen and concepts that have never been tried as actual countries?

There is technically no such thing as a democratic government. A democracy is an extreme concept that could never exist in the real world. However a government that has democracy as it's goal is described as democractic.

If circumstances were never discussed they'd never come to exist in the real world either. 3000 years ago there was no such thing as a democracy and if you go back there was no such thing as sedentary living, or government. They came about because someone thought about them and people discussed them. There are also many area's of maths that do not exist in the physical world, yet have their uses in theory that explains the physical world.

Fair enough, but when most people in this thread make suggestions of countries that actually exist, in their current political and socio-economical climate, but some few discuss countries that don't actually exist, a conflict occur. It's a bit like real apples, that are perhaps a bit rotten, with imaginary apples that are big and ripe.

Fantasia pwns your Communist Paradise, BTW. :wink:

This is inspired by the Aspie High School topic but expanding it to a different level.

So, blending the two concepts together what country?

(Then we can have a discussion about political structure and organization).

(How would we overcome sensory issues in public transport and at the airport?)

(How would immigration be handled?)

(What companies would we give incentives to develop in our downtown and what style of incentives?. Tax holidays, rent preferences, etc?)

Just a wild fantastical idea, but I can always dream, right?

I would probably prefer to live with NTs of similar interests than aspies of varying personalities or even issues. which is pretty much not too hard to find but assuming an aspie city (maybe aspish NTs would be allowed? we know some would come) that would be in....
well canada or the like... north... decent weather (-10 .. 26c zone) international enough for it to be remotely realistic and a developed society around... good enough

Somewhere in the English countryside, of course.

Definitely not London.

would have to say Canada or Switzerland
Switzerland is cool because you can go from a perfectly normal climate to the best skiing in the world with a 2 hour train ride (if i remember the trains were pretty quiet). Also the people there seemed nice and i think the school system would be pretty good.
