Comment on Ask HN: Living overseas with a profitable online business

Tunisia (My country) may be a good place for you. When re-searching on how to start my own company, I found out that non-residents can easily form a company over the Internet and submit all papers (even without being here). Taxes are 10% but if you sign before 2011, you'll pay no taxes for 10 years.

Tunisia has an authoritarian regime in the guise of a procedural democracy led by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who has governed as President since 1987 and has systematically diminished freedom of press and political pluralism while keeping appearances of democracy.

It also has one of Africa and the Middle East's highest per-capita GDPs (PPP)
