Hey OP, you forgot to add the Warhammer 40k universe!
Actually, depending on where in the 'verse you live, 40k wouldn't be too bad. The Ciaphas Cain novels indicate that on a lot of the Imperium's less-populated worlds (i.e. not hive-worlds with hundreds of billions of citizens, not forge worlds polluted beyond reason, not death worlds where you're stuck in the Iron Age), people seem to have a standard of living comparable to the better parts of modern-day Earth, excepting that you're living in an oppressive ultra-bureaucratic theocracy at the national government level.
That's assuming the planet doesn't get attacked by xenos nasties or Chaos, of course.
Or the victim of an inquisition exterminatus on mere suspicion of corruption
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

23th Century gotta have replicator of some sort, I mean, the ENT already have protein (re?)sequencer, the Constitution have "food slot"... It probably wont taste as good real deal or 24th century replicator, and because the need of chef(even in 2290s) means it can't make finished meal. Only the raw material.
Hast thou not gone against sincerity
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds
Hast thou not lacked vigor
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts
Hast thou not become slothful
You forgot Stargate, StarCraft and Star Clusters (/shamelessplug ).
More serious answer: Stargate, Star Trek or Star Wars. Not sure which one of those. MAYBE StarCraft, depending on what happens post-LotV and whether we get to choose what era we live in.
Quite frankly for all we know we're already living in Stargate. Unless you've got top secret clearance with the Air Force or UN you wouldn't remotely be allowed to know about the program.
Fair point.

Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Star-trek verse seems nice, after all, it is suppose to be a optimistic show.
Otherwise the Star Wars galaxy in some nice planet like Alderaan, big and secure, but not too big like Courscant. Trick is tovpick the right time. Somewhere within a thousand year from prequels have no large wars, no weirdos running with glowsticks and no evul empires. Seem to be nice
Not sure about any fantasy universe, aside from urban fantasies. If you aren't magician you will be living in Medieval age really.... And we all know the living condition back then isn't exactly good by our standards....

Well that sucks, I don't see the Doctor Who universe up there... guess I'll go with Star Trek!
If someone who knew the future pointed out a child to you and told you that that child would grow up totally evil to be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives... could you then kill that child?
The Firefly Universe sounds like an idea (assuming you get to choose to go to the Rim rather than the Hub - otherwise so much for the cunning plan!), but for me it would be a case of, as the song says, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose... nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free". The Rim is relatively free from interference from the regime only because it's basically a bit rubbish. And you left something out of your list, Kamiyama317:
All you need is a gun, a ship, and open sky. The whole premise of the series is that you will always be free as long as you have that.
All you need to be free is a gun, a ship, open sky, and your health. SUCKS to be River Tam in the Firefly universe. Star Trek has the medical technology and that trumps most things. It's not very uplifting, but that one thing can always take the sky from anyone.
I would probably opt to make a colony my place of residence rather than Earth since I think Fed society is too conformist...colony worlds probably have more to offer someone who is not an ideological conformist. But considering my bar for what constitutes a decent standard of living is based on 2015, I suspect that as long as the colony is not brand spanking new or on a particularly hostile world (environmentally or subject to Klingon or other predation), I would be very comfortable (maybe even feel pampered!) even with what a coreworld citizen would call "roughing it."
I'd go for Earth, their kind of weird is a kind of weird that I'd personally get on quite well with - at least, at the best guess of just what Earth society IS supposed to be like in Star Trek. But yep, if they turned out too annoying, there's always the colony worlds. And it's possible I wouldn't be able to get used to a society where everything was too easy and shiny!
Doctor Who universe would be fun though, yeah. And Star Trek can't beat it on medical technology grounds either, because we all know the Whoniverse has exactly whatever technology the plot needs it to
The Firefly universe would be nice. All you need is a gun, a ship, and open sky. The whole premise of the series is that you will always be free as long as you have that. No rules, no regs, no government. Just you, your ship, the sky, and your ability to survive.
In all honesty the Star Trek Universe is too populated. You can't go anywhere without one species or civilization or another being right next door. Every quadrant has an empire of some kind, and a good number of them are outright villainous. You would always either be held to certain laws or rules, or under constant attack by bad guys. You would never be truly free.
I don't know - Firefly is limited to a single star system and the Alliance has it all under control, more or less. The Browncoats lost their war for independence, after all. It seems very unlikely you'd find an untouched home anywhere in Firefly.
In Star Trek - heck, some people own their own moon.
The STO Universe after the Iconian War might be the best - you need an empty space? There are two Dyson Spheres out there. Sure, they aren't empty, but the interior space is huge. If you want to live on your own and far away from everyone, you could. And there are certainly countless of worlds you could go to and be left alone. Considering how many lost colonies TOS and TNG uncovered with just a single ship each... And that's only the stuff they actually found.

The Firefly universe would be nice. All you need is a gun, a ship, and open sky. The whole premise of the series is that you will always be free as long as you have that.
And food. And medical care. And ammunition for the gun, and fuel and spare parts for the ship. All of which take immense amounts of agricultural and industrial infrastructure to produce. And it all has to be organized somehow, or it just isn't going to work. Starting to see the point of those governments, now?
I can't help looking at the Firefly 'verse, and thinking to myself, hmm. On the Alliance worlds, people lead reasonably comfortable lives, even if their government is somewhat suspect - though, mind you, I've seen lots worse; the bulk of the Alliance populace isn't oppressed on a daily basis, and there's at least a suggestion that the government can, ultimately, be held accountable for its unethical actions. Meanwhile, out there on the free frontier, people are fighting each other to the death over scraps of food or medicine, when they can spare the time from being oppressed by the local crime lords. Hmm, I say to myself. Which part would I rather live in?

Yeah, but it's a laser antique and looks silverish.
Laser weapons in Firefly are impractical at best. Even allowing that the Lassiter is an antique that doesn't work anymore, Rance Burgess' pistol ran out of power after the equivalent of about ten shots (one eight-second burst, four single shots).
And as far as living in the Alliance? Might want to rethink that: the core worlds are as much of a police state as the TNG-era Romulan Star Empire (or modern-day China): you're only fine as long as you actually like your leaders. And if you live in the outworlds, you're just trading an authoritarian government for practically no government at all. Life is way harder than on, for example, a Federation outworld or even a 40k agri-world like I mentioned earlier: the Alliance will terraform a planet to where it's basically habitable, if your idea of "habitable" is semiarid scrubland, and then just plop down settlers with as little resources as they can get away with and forget 'em. The ones who make it to an early 1900s standard of living are the lucky ones.
And that's before you consider the Reavers, which I'll remind you were the unintended consequence of an Alliance social engineering experiment that also killed ten million people directly. Don't get me wrong: I'm a Browncoat, I love the setting, but for the average citizen the Firefly-verse is a horrible place to live.
By contrast, the Systems Alliance in Mass Effect is basically the Federation, if the Federation lived in a world where it wasn't top dog in its part of the galaxy for the better part of two centuries until the Borg showed up. It's the post-Dominion War realist Federation without having had to go through the Dominion War to get its head yanked out of its TRIBBLE.

I would't just be living in the Alliance on the core worlds, I'd be a part of them. I'm sure Blue Sun Corporation has openings for people willing to wear silly gloves and hunt down escaped lab rats.

I'd go with the Trek Universe, because adventuring in the Final Frontier and defending the Federation sound epic. Though Star Wars (Jedi) and Mass Effect hold appeal to me, as well.
Also... you forgot the options to vote for Gundam Universes!!

Actually by the time Deathly Hallows rolls around, Voldemort's army has no problem with harming "Muggles."
For me, even that term is an example of the casual contempt and discrimination (so ingrained that even good guys, with the exception of Hermione, don't realize they're being bigots) that means I'd want no part of actually living there even though the books are a fun read.

@theraven2378: As with Section 31 in Star Trek, that's the job of legitimate Alliance military officers like Shepard, not a bunch of well-funded xenophobes. And unlike with Section 31 it is made absolutely explicit that Cerberus is not a legitimate organization: their funding comes from being major stockholders of a bunch of megacorps.
@catstarsto: Shadowfang and Gulberat are right: it's made clear mid-series that the Death Eaters do not and never did consider non-magicians off-limits.

I never got a chance to see them all, i began to call the series, the never ending story. But fair enough...in that case star trek, i really enjoy science and would jump at an opportunity to learn a level that advanced...and have myself a tidy uniform ^^

I don't know - Firefly is limited to a single star system and the Alliance has it all under control, more or less. The Browncoats lost their war for independence, after all. It seems very unlikely you'd find an untouched home anywhere in Firefly.
In Star Trek - heck, some people own their own moon.
The STO Universe after the Iconian War might be the best - you need an empty space? There are two Dyson Spheres out there. Sure, they aren't empty, but the interior space is huge. If you want to live on your own and far away from everyone, you could. And there are certainly countless of worlds you could go to and be left alone. Considering how many lost colonies TOS and TNG uncovered with just a single ship each... And that's only the stuff they actually found.
Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Star Trek are all very appealing in this context.
Can't see why that's a problem. I'd happily live in the Alliance.
Might spend Tuesday glassing Shadow.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Yeah, but it's a laser antique and looks silverish.

I can't help looking at the Firefly 'verse, and thinking to myself, hmm. On the Alliance worlds, people lead reasonably comfortable lives, even if their government is somewhat suspect - though, mind you, I've seen lots worse; the bulk of the Alliance populace isn't oppressed on a daily basis, and there's at least a suggestion that the government can, ultimately, be held accountable for its unethical actions. Meanwhile, out there on the free frontier, people are fighting each other to the death over scraps of food or medicine, when they can spare the time from being oppressed by the local crime lords. Hmm, I say to myself. Which part would I rather live in?

Laser weapons in Firefly are impractical at best. Even allowing that the Lassiter is an antique that doesn't work anymore, Rance Burgess' pistol ran out of power after the equivalent of about ten shots (one eight-second burst, four single shots).
And as far as living in the Alliance? Might want to rethink that: the core worlds are as much of a police state as the TNG-era Romulan Star Empire (or modern-day China): you're only fine as long as you actually like your leaders. And if you live in the outworlds, you're just trading an authoritarian government for practically no government at all. Life is way harder than on, for example, a Federation outworld or even a 40k agri-world like I mentioned earlier: the Alliance will terraform a planet to where it's basically habitable, if your idea of "habitable" is semiarid scrubland, and then just plop down settlers with as little resources as they can get away with and forget 'em. The ones who make it to an early 1900s standard of living are the lucky ones.
And that's before you consider the Reavers, which I'll remind you were the unintended consequence of an Alliance social engineering experiment that also killed ten million people directly. Don't get me wrong: I'm a Browncoat, I love the setting, but for the average citizen the Firefly-verse is a horrible place to live.
By contrast, the Systems Alliance in Mass Effect is basically the Federation, if the Federation lived in a world where it wasn't top dog in its part of the galaxy for the better part of two centuries until the Borg showed up. It's the post-Dominion War realist Federation without having had to go through the Dominion War to get its head yanked out of its TRIBBLE.

I would't just be living in the Alliance on the core worlds, I'd be a part of them. I'm sure Blue Sun Corporation has openings for people willing to wear silly gloves and hunt down escaped lab rats.

Actually by the time Deathly Hallows rolls around, Voldemort's army has no problem with harming "Muggles."
For me, even that term is an example of the casual contempt and discrimination (so ingrained that even good guys, with the exception of Hermione, don't realize they're being bigots) that means I'd want no part of actually living there even though the books are a fun read.

the death eaters never had any problems attacking mundanes (my far less insulting term for the nonmagical population), whether during the first war, second war, or even the peacetime in between (remember the quidditch world cup?)

@catstarsto: Shadowfang and Gulberat are right: it's made clear mid-series that the Death Eaters do not and never did consider non-magicians off-limits.

I never got a chance to see them all, i began to call the series, the never ending story. But fair enough...in that case star trek, i really enjoy science and would jump at an opportunity to learn a level that advanced...and have myself a tidy uniform ^^
