Does anyone know a nice tropical island where
living is safe, not too expensive, somewhat English-speaking and
served by Fedex?

Australia has all those benefits and it is an island albeit an
'island
continent'.

Yeah, but what I heard from engineers there the authorities are
behaving rather destructive to small business. Exorbitant import
tariffs and so on. A socialistic trend ain't my cuppa tea. Small
business is the foundation of innovation and a region's well-being
and I expect politicians to understand that ;-)

So I should add to the list: Good biz climate, conservative gvt.

I somehow think that your description of the conservative
Liberal/National Party federal government as "socialistic" would not
go down too well with John Howard, who is totally in bed with your
republican George W Bush.

Just plain "socialist" doesn't characterize them with the right level of
granularity.

There are the "People's socialists", who want to take your money away
to pay the poor people's bills, and the "National socialists", who
want to take your money away to pay the rich people's bills.

Interestingly, the German acronym for "National socialist" is NAZI.
