So which country is the best for off-the-grid living overall, in special, the legality and regulation?
Any tropical rainforest country where even if the laws are on the books, it would take all of their resources to enforce them. In America, Colombia and Ecuador seem like top options. In Africa, Cameroon and Gabon. In Asia, Borneo (Malaysia/Indonesia) or Papua New Guinea.
Thanks!
what are you trying to achieve by living off the grid here? escape from fascist regime? or AI apocalypse?
Better privacy.
if you have to care about regulation, you are not off grid.
i would say the answer is country with large off grid areas, where no one will bother you and you have something to hunt. northern canada? siberia?

I agree. But some countries have very strict land regulation laws. So you can’t build your log cabin in any forest you like. If they find you, they can actually seize your cabin and allot hefty fines!

Yeah, I thought about Canada too! Siberia… I’m not so sure after seeing Nexpo’s video about Khamar-Daban incident.
In Siberia land use rules are quite harsh, they are just enforced by criminals, not government (which is criminal too pretty much). Do not recommend.
Thanks!
Here in France it is totally legal to produce your own electricity as you wish and consume it. You have regulations if you try to connect your installation to the grid but you can totally have different circuits.
Waste water is more problematic, with a strong push for new constructions to be connected to the waste management system when doable. Off the grid system here are allowed to but have to follow some regulations, basically to prevent flooding your neighbors with fecal matter when it rains.
Thanks!
