BTW, are you guys aware that almost all americans are european and asian "immigrants"
OK, letīs stop this. lets stay polite to eachother.
Yes of course, but that is not the issue.
The issue is that the last time I checked, there is not a country in the world that you can go to, just cross the border, and say "I'm going to live here permanently now." It doesn't, and shouldn't ever work like that.
Ummmmm Have you heard about the European Union?
Edit: 3 years ago I finished my PhD, I crossed a border (by plane) and I said "I'm going to live here
as long as I want."
It's not quite that easy, you can cross the border in the EU, but you can only stay in another country for three months unless you get a job or study. And it could be argued that the EU is a de facto country.
FUD.
If you are from one of the schengen area state, you can do whatever you want for as long as you like within the 26 schengen states without needing any extra ids or paper.
26 states:
Austria
Belgium
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Iceland
Italy
Latvia
Liechtenstein
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland

Again, no, you can only stay for three months if you do not have a job or are studying.
There are a lot of misunderstandings about the Schengen agreement.
I am a citizen from one of the schengen state, i can and i have stay in Switzerland, German, Greece, Finland(which its quite boring at there) each more than 6 months up to almost two years without being required anything. i am a trust fund baby and the goal is just to enjoy the nice view and different life around the world so i don't work nor study at those places.
I can lay in bed in the hotel of Zermatt and enjoy the mountain view or go ski for 6 months and walk along the Geneva lake for the next half year. no visa/id/paper asked.
