Late, but re: Switzerland: Of course Phil puts it on his list thinking of cheese first and welfare a very distant second without giving much thought to the rest. But I've spent some time in the German part and, let's just say I highly recommend it to any Westerner that, for whatever reason DISCLAIMER: MUH FREEZE PEACH excluded, may think of their country as a dystopian, oppressive police state.
In addition to Phil having no reason to settle there (and, even if he had, he'd have no recourse to any kind of public funds), Swiss Germans are remarkably unwelcoming to the point that there's virtually no place where you can learn their German dialect unless you went to school there as most language schools for expats only offer High German. Which isn't prolly that big of a hurdle if you're there just to work for better money I reckon, but if your plan is to live off the dole, you have to endear yourself to the society somehow.
Not to mention, Switzerland overall is a fairly conservative society. Like, "only gave women the right to vote in the mid-fucking-seventies" conservative. I don't think they're likely to humour the phantasies of a foreign, non-German-speaking, amorphous and agendered blob bedecked in ill-fitting bondage gear.
Off-topic bonus: I just remembered this flick called Small Apartments, which is also about a fat lolcow who lives in a dirty flat surrounded by other lolcows and daydreams of moving to Switzerland. Oh well.
