As others have suggested, I think the US is out... or, at least, beyond
reach at this point in time. If it was me, I'd start with one of the
Commonwealth countries... Canada (top of my list), Oz, and NZ. They're
the most similar in culture to the UK, and fairly easy with respect to
assimilation. Of course, there are 50+ Commonwealth countries from which
to choose... but these'll get you started.
