In which fictional world/universe/land/city would you most like to live?

The answer to this question heavily depends on whether I can choose my place and role in the fictional universe. It would be nice, for example, to live in the timeless wonder of Rivendell, or a well-fed hobbit (one who did not have the misfortune of inheriting a ring of incredible, evil power) of MIddle Earth, but not so nice if you ended up toiling in Sauron's war machine. Worse still would be if I was plunked into a fictional world as me exactly as I am today, QA jobs being rather thin on the ground in Minas Tirith. (Does anyone in Middle Earth actually have a job? The economy, as far as I can tell, is based solely on gardening, warfare and the extraction of precious metals. Not once in the Lord of the Rings is there a hint of real, actual economic activity, except maybe the scene where they go to the bar and order up some points. Even, then, no money changes hands--but that's a post for another time.)
