Switzerland it is then. I don't think you really even need to consider the alternatives if you already know you are guaranteed reliably.

Yeah it's basically between Switzerland and Norway. And also off-shore is another option, in international waters. That's also the same price as Switzerland and Norway. It's a new option I just learned about recently. It might be good because there's no government, but that might also make it weak as well, if there's literal pirates that hijack the offshore rig the servers are on. But from a legal perspective it's probably the most free, but in some ways that makes it more vulnerable to outside influence instead of being protected. But an offshore rig would probably have better ping to America, where most of our users are.

But it's looking like probably Switzerland or Norway. Still thinking it over though and considering options.

Lol that's crazy. Actual pirates are still a thing.

You could make the decision easy for yourself by relying on the userbase's opinion, assuming you have trust in it.

Heh yeah pirates or even government-paid pirates! Probably more secure in one the countries. I actually did ask people's opinion here, but no one responded.

I guess I could make a dedicated post about it, I'll probably do that tomorrow or soon.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that governments are involved somewhere along the line. o_o Oh, I wasn't aware you had already asked. Need to pay more attention in the future.
