What region in Runeterra would you choose to live?

I am curious as to where everyone would choose to live. Personally I'd choose Bilgewater because the place always has a job opportunity for someone. There are many dangers but if you have even a semblance of knowledge of the place you'd be fine. Shadow Isles, Do I really need to explain why i wouldn't live there? Noxus while one of the better empires you are extraordinarily likely to be enlisted in the military due to their expansionist theme, even if you were in a wealthy family. Demacia is racist towards magic but also corrupt and full of hypocrites and if you're stuck with magic you're pretty much screwed unless you're in wealthy family. Piltover is pretty much if you're not a member of a wealthy family or working for them you're useless and you have to get out. Zaun while certainly one of the more appealing places I have a personal distaste for it as it's so beyond dangerous you're significantly more free to do things but there are mad scientists and shotgun knee cultists. Freljord is full of barbarians with Lissandra doing her stuff and the watchers trying to return. Shurima is a wasteland and I've always had a dislike of heat and sand("It gets everywhere"), Azir the person who destroyed it in the first place and the other ascended wreaking havoc is a significant problem. Targon is full of power hungry humans who took power completely to their head and then proceeding to think themselves higher than even Aurelion Sol and I personally detest them for that. Ixtal as of this moment in time does not have enough lore to reason as to why or why not live there. Ionia is full of peace loving people who when the inevitable Noxian invasion comes will yet again be unprepared and will rely on people like Irelia to defend them when the time comes and let's be honest, Noxus should be a lot smarter by then.

I'd love to know the place you guys would choose and why though.

Ionia.

Magical, (mostly) peaceful, beautiful scenery, not a lot of distracting technology.

Piltover because it's the America analogue.

Shurima because the opportunities to fucking die there are so common. Xer'Sais, Malzahar, Xerath, raiders, dying from no water in the desert. Either that or you get to join Azir and basically live a normal life (as normal as possible in Shurima that is) if you're lucky you're a mage and get respected by everyone. For serious now probably Ixtal because it seems so far the only faction that isn't full of wars misery magic-haters etc. Plus it has some neat elemental magic so the chances to become a mage are big

Shurima. I live by the beach so heat and sand are pretty 'meh' as far as possible deterrents go. That said there are way worse things in Shurima that should probably deter me, it's basically one big sandy death trap, but... the capitol seems like a nice place to live at least. So, if I could get there I'd probably live in Shurima's capitol. That seems like the safest and most pleasant part of Shurima.

Noxus, it's a cultural mosaic full of different people with a stable law system, it would honestly be the safest place to live, plus there's the whole no mage-haters or racists thing.

Noxus, as others have said cultural mosaic, the whole thing where you can do anything as long as your good/the best at it, the opportunity to learn magic. only real negatives is the conquer stigma and maybe getting stabbed,

Piltover is the place that resembles modern western society the most so I would choose that

Also steampunk is cool

I would have loved to live in a place like the Blessed Isles while it was still around. It was a pacifistic utopia full of magic and mystery, with amazing architecture and scenery to boot!

Azir the person who destroyed it in the first place and the other ascended wreaking havoc is a significant problem.

It was Xerath who destroyed it tho

If I am realistic, I have to chose Pilover.

High technology standards, good education opportunities, fairly safe (I mean, Caitlyn and Vi are ensuring my safety there). I like Zaun a tiny bit more thematically, but it is stacked with danger around every corner and diseases are fairly common there.

I could still visit Zaun regularely if I live in Piltover, thanks to these 2 places being directly connected through elevators, tho.
