Which countries strongly support my values? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi, I'm looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I'm looking for a country that:

supports wildlife protection
supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy
supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.
peaceful, low crime
community-oriented
equal and just
very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters
free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)
high taxes are therefore fine to me
compassion-oriented
affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates

You might check out Costa Rica.

Please elaborate!

I don’t know much about the country, but based on my limited knowledge, I think many of these values are supported by that country.

The OP needs to check it out on his own to learn more.

costa rica legalized same-sex marriage in 2020, have free public education, a medicare-style public health, is full of wildlife protection, has freedom of expression and no military, and is relatively peaceful (more peaceful than most latin american countries, for sure). don't know about employment and cost of living, though.

another option is uruguay which benefits from most of these characteristics. wildlife is not lush though, as most of the country is empty, flat steppes mostly used for grazing cattle and sheep.

This is the answer. Not sure how they are with LGBT rights, but they are big into preservation of their wildlife. Like, you can get fined for running over a turtle big.
