kazakhstan is a tidy place, especially the bigger cities. i know a few people there, all of them are cool and well educated too. the general impression is that it's one of the more peaceful dictatorships around. plenty of jobs, western kinda lifestyle, low unemployment, participation rate comparable to france (around 40%, russia: 30%), lower crime rate than most countries, oil keeps the economy alive, proper winters with snow, etc
out of the listed countries i bet that's the best place to live in
