Hello
I would like to put in a request for improvement.
I am currently registered (since a few years) on my home country as the country I am planning to expat to is not a option here on this site.

I believe that the country list needs to be edited. There are countries missing, countries which indeed have quite a few expats, for me, there is 3 possible candidate countries - all 3 are missing on the list.

On the other hand there is countries on the list which highly unlikely anyone is to move to, like Vatican State as an example. The only people who would move there is catholic priests or Swiss guards and they would probably know all about it anyway.

The countries I am missing:

Cook Islands - Yes, I know it is sort of New Zeeland in free association. But they regard themselfes as country and there is just to much difference from NZ. One can see that Frensh Polynesia is available as a country so then I believe Cook Islands should be too because Cook Islands is alot more self governed then Frensh Polynesia is.

Niue Island - Also in free association with New Zeeland.

Tonga

Would be happy if these can be added.
Cheers,

Magnus ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠
