I know that several years ago quite a few Americans were moving to central America after retirement. I don't know if that trend is continuing.

There are lots of good options for retirees or if one has a business in the US that can be operated remotely via internet. There is probably a wide range of business friendliness in central america though. I was amazed at the number of people from the US that I ran into who run bed and breakfasts in Costa Rica. (Though there are supposedly weak property rights in CR.) Also hear that Panama and Belize are somewhat business friendly.
