Finding a "porn friendly" country is easy if you're just a webmaster. But if you plan on producing porn, your choices are limited.

And as someone who has been around a bit, I can tell you with 100% certainty that what you will get away from in the USA, you will pick up something else in another country to replace it. For example, you may not live in a borderline police state anymore, but you may end up living in a place where the police don't help you at all when you need them. You may not have to worry about politics and the future of your nation, but the locals in your new location may not like you very much. You may get away from everyone and their mother legally owning a gun, and live in a place where it is forbidden only for foreigners to own one. And so on and so forth.

There is no perfect place. You only exchange one set of problems for another. But if that is OK with you, what you can gain from living elsewhere far out weighs whatever bad issues you may trade. Learning a new language, new culture, and totally new geographical area is fun and keeps you learning.

I suggest going somewhere for 4 - 6 months first to see if you like it. That is a decent indication to see if it's worth packing up and moving for.
