I regularly come to think of what would be the best place to create and run a small IT company say a start-up. By safe I mean:
Not bothered by criminals collecting money from all businesses in the neighbourhood
Not bothered by the army of lawyers trying every single hole in legislation system on every single little company (like it is in Germany)
No software patents and endless suits about every single little feature or color piece in your software
Free from responsibility for user-generated content, well as long as you remove all generally considered "illegal" content after a request to do so or after you yourself notice it
The local court system does not welcome such attacks from local and foreign lawyers and "protects" their homegrown companies
Reasonable taxes not killing a private entrepreneur from the very start of his adventure
Low bureaucracy and paperwork
Private data protection for your company (not like giving out your state of affairs to whoever asks)
Well developed communication infrastructure (not like sitting over dial-up as the latest technology breakthrough)
P.S. Will here be a better location for such a question?
