Doesnt have to be Eastern Europe. Plenty of examples of rich people finding ways for their kids to avaoid the draft during Vietnam and WWII in the US.
The Midwest states are essentially the top of the bell curve when it comes to quality of life stats. Maybe life isn’t as flashy as the coasts, but there isnt the absolutely ramoant poverty like you find in Appalachia or the deep South.
