Oh and BTW England has the most street cameras per capita and Holland has the most wire taps per capita.
To answer your original question:
Unemployment tends to be lower here, there are better jobs, if you want to get involved in high technology all the big guys are here (NASA, IBM, GE, Lockheed, US Military, etc.), if you want to be an famous actor you have to move to California, the best universities are here, beautiful parks and landscapes, lower taxes than most W. Europe states, lower cost of living, stuff is cheaper, a government not run by useless hippies (Europe refuses to grow genetically engineered food), you could want to live in a giant metropolis like NY, or you could want to live in an open countryside, its a lot easier to open up a business.
Other than that I dunno
