Are there any (livable 🥺) countries that basically allow anyone to become a citizen? Specifically where an English speaker could get by.

Edit: by allowing anyone I mean poor people with no skills.

I know that Georgia is very lenient on maximum stay, 364 days a year and any day outside of the country the days are reset. You're essentially a citizen that has to take mandatory annual vacations.

Tblisi is pretty well developed from what I have heard and it's a very safe and peaceful place (ignoring 2008 >:( ). It's still pretty poor compared to developed countries, so despite that human development is decent, you won't be able to afford as many foreign products (especially tech).

They did a road trip through Georgia on The Grand Tour and it looks like a really gorgeous country

Top Gear fan?

So much so that if I was given enough money I would rebuild the test track complete with weird 747 in the background.

Nice! I’m a huge fan of “old” TG, and the Grand Tour.

A friend did this, not in Georgia, but basically once every so often she had to do a day trip out of the country, then visa was reset. She lived there for like 5 years?

It’s called a visa run

They're also being eyed up by Russia, which is worth keeping in mind..
