Where would you live?

Akiyama

There are a few timelines I'd like to live in: my timeline of Bazaar, Gernsback from GURPS Infinite Worlds, a Draka timeline (providing I can be a Draka), a timeline where technology is far in advance of OTL (something similar to The Culture from Iain Banks' novels), or the world in the novel News from Nowhere. I'd also like to live in the Anglo-Dutch Empire, but in the 1920s or 1930s, not in the present day. It would be somewhat like OTLs 1920s/30s, but better, because people would be less uptight about things and there would be no major wars or depressions to spoil things.

As for my role, I think either some kind of teacher/scholar, a businessman, an aristocrat or a successful comic writer (maybe I could be the Draka equivalent of P G Wodehouse?). As long as I'm wealthy enough to be able to travel , I'll be happy.

A soldier in the American Civil War. Even with the high casualty rate, I'd be in the Union Army. Damn Southerners need to be in their place.

Choice One: Prince of one of the smaller German states in the first half of XIXth century (like Lippe-Detmold or Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha)
Choice Two: Victorious general under Demetrius I Soter of Seleucid Dynasty
Choice Three: The second human surviving captain of Earth-Minbari War in B5 universe (they have cool indusrial-looking starships there)

Lots of responses centering around tech and wealth. I still say there’s something to be said for a less advanced lifestyle. (though a less advanced lifestyle with modern sanitation and medical practices would be better).

After reading the Aurora Australis TL, I wanna live in Australia, Canada, or the Philippines (if they take the offer to become part of the Australian Commonwealth) during the early 1980s of that TL. :D
