No cuba. After the 400+ assasination attempts by the cia, I doubt he or his brother are touchable.

Iran has the supreme leader, the council of 10, and then the president. Each of these people are heavily guarded.

North korea is crazy. No.

How about we weed out bad ones, then vote on what remains.
Step 1: weed out countries that have too much press attention. (unless about how horrific the regime is)
Step 2: weed out countries with liked dictators. (among the people, or by other countries. We don't want to kill Russia's fave oil supplier or something.
Step 3: weed out countries with well-protected leaders.
Step 4: weed out countries with little to no natural resources.
Step 5: finally, look at pros and cons of remaining countries. Decide.

We could steal greenland.
Cons:

Bad PR.
Very cold

Pros:

Loads of untapped natural resources. (oil, gems and stuff)
Basically uninhabited.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Too well known.
'someone's taken over Greenland!' 'kill them!'
'someone's taken over a country I've never heard of' 'meh'

What about Sealand?

On second thought, too close to england. We could found our own nation and steal resources.

Founding your own nation on artificual land is banned by the UN. It's true, look it up.

Mauratania seems to have their shit together, so I move for crossing them out. More over, there is a rightful ruler, so we'd go up against unneeded rebellions.

Belarus borders russia, and is on highly friendly terms. That sucks, as its the only dectatership remaining in europe, and the vast majority of us are white.

Djobouti is too friendly with the french.

Our current options are:
Angolia
Equatorial Guinea
Zimbabwe
Cameroon
Uganda
Burinka Faso
Sudan
Chad
Eritrea
The Gambia
Republic of the Congo
Djibouti
Rwanda
Central African Republic
Burundi
Mauritania
Cuba(?)
Iran
North Korea
Belarus

I think we can probably rule out most of the poorer country's, as we would inherit the bad rep of the old ruler for treating his people wrongly and such.

Unless we advertise it as a 'fresh start', with living conditions, health, and GDP going on and up.
Obviously we'll have to make sure they don't find this thread...
We'll have to be very thorough, at least more so than the many background checks we'll merit.

Just choose a decent country where a bunch of insane nerds and geeks from America who want the country to prosper economically and develop a space program would be an improvement.

We could remove the Central African Republic, due to it being completely surrounded.  The nations around it would already be making for a land grab before we could create some form of a government.

Fun fact: Due to the gravity of mars, humans who stay on that planet have their bone density increase and they grow shorter.  (Look it up, I am pretty sure it is true)

The opposite would probably happen. Maybe we should find some higher gravity place.

Marsis the third largest rock planet.

Either make some kind of space station with high gravity, manufacture a few liters of quasar matter and drop it into the Martian core, or find some other way to turn into dwarves.
Also, you'll look more like an elf than a dwarf from being raised on Mars.

Aw I never thought of this. Its very complecated, but baisicaly it causes you to get...... fat, that's why astronauts work out so much. If you have ever seen the Disney "Wall-E", that's execaly what would happen

Not exactly. Pixar movies ain't exactly the best source for scientific information, you know. The buildup of fat is in fact caused by a lack of physical exercice(spaceships are tiny; and flying is easy), not by the low gravity.

What would happen:
-You grow longer
-Bone density weakens enormously, as do quite a few of you muscles
-Blood deplaces itselfs from the legs to your face; given you a puffed up look
-Some cardiovascular problems

It is untested whether or not mars has sufficient gravity. However, daily exercise can prolong or even prevent it. Besides, what alternatives do we have?
