A state with a large percentage of rural residents, low land prices, fairly moderate weather and low taxes.
Off the top of my head:
Florida
Tennessee
Texas
South Carolina
Oklahoma
maybe Missouri or Arkansas
>>fairly moderate weather<<
Wow, given your list, what is extreme weather???? ;)
Add to that mix - western VA between Roanoke and the NC line. Mild enough weather, plenty of lakes and streams, plenty of forest land for wood, plenty of game, plenty of inexpensive farmland, not many people.
