If anyone has ever picked Westeros in this meme, I seriously want to know what the heck they were thinking.
One of my criteria when writing Silver Scales was that I wanted a setting that I'd be reasonably happy to live in as an ordinary person. :) It's got some pretty nasty faults, but it's still pretty good for most inhabitants, and has some readily-available perks over modern America.
But if I was going to pick a fictional world to live in, I'd probably go with something like John C. Wright's _The Golden Age_, which is a super-high-tech setting with every kind of comfort available to virtually everyone. A post-scarcity society on Earth, where the only things you still need money for are stuff like deep space exploration or terraforming projects.
