| Evidence-backed fit | Low cost of living: Mieten 250 €-500/month for a 1-bedroom in the capital; food budget 200 €-300/month for family (figures vary by neighborhood and season).Simple 12% flat income tax system: transparent, easier to model, and lower than many European systems. |
| Main trade-offs | Geopolitical risk: Neighboring Ukraine conflict; Transnistria (breakaway territory) creates uncertainty; potential spillover from regional instability.Lower service quality than Western Europe: Gesundheitcare outside Chișinău is basic; public services can be slow; outdated infrastructure in regions. |
