I'll be more direct. It would suck to denounce US citizenship for, say, Canadian citizenship, and then have the Canadian government decide to tax gambling. Now you are stuck up here, paying taxes anyway. (not that it would be so bad. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

Set up an offshore corporation. Hire yourself as a contractor, paying whatever minimum amount you think you can convince the authorities you live on. Buy everything else through the company. You'll probably have to move offshore for this to work, but you can retain US citizenship.

The Baltic states are already in the EU. I don't know if this has made it harder to become a citizen, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.
