Uruguay has a pretty easy system you can make a request of residence and it seems that usually go through. Americans do not need a visa to come but if you prepare the paperwork is easier…

A quick scan of Wikipedia shows there’s an actual left wing party currently in power that was formerly led by a guerilla fighter during the military occupation of the country in the 80s
As well they legalized abortions in 2012 and weed and same sex marriage in 2013
It’s got a 3 branch government similar to America
Economy seems stable, Internet seems good.
Guess it’s time to start learning Portuguese or Spanish!

The left wing party is not led by a former guerrila fighter but said one Jose Mujica was president yes here the president is important yes but not the all powerful figure. That was in the 70s (the guerrilla thing) and they all admitted that doing a revolution was not the best answer to the political trumoil. Also the militia coup was backed by Nixon so there is that.
And it’s Spanish the official language.

I did say formerly. The first president of the current party was a guerilla fighter.
Do you mean the military leadership of the 80s was backed by Nixon or the group that overthrew them?

Best option on Latin America on pretty much any standard. Progressive laws, good weather - main negative thing I can think of is that rent can be quite expensive. I’ve considered moving there in the past but my Spanish is awful.

Pretty on point really although there are some govt initatives to help. Hell in enough ppl comes over at once you can start a cooperative and build your own houses. Also the mayority speaks some basics almost 15% of ppl speaks first level English with a 5% that basically manages complete. Many places do have English speaking personnel even.
