register at a fake Chinese school to get a student visa.

In some countries, they just pay you in cash and the government
never finds out you're working.

In which country are the people the nicest?
I would say Thailand wins this one.

Which country is the most relaxing, or the most fun to be in --- long
term, not just two weeks at a beach.

You got that almost right. Yes, the people of Thailand are nicer than
most on your list but the Laotians are the nicest.

Thailand if you stay up country. Also Malaysia.

Both are relatively inexpensive, easy living, and fun.

Thailand if you stay up country.
agreed, except dont mess around with local national politics ;-))
Also Malaysia.
caveat: dont mess around with islamic ladies/men sexually. This is an islamic
state and islamic shariah law mandates you to be treated thus albeit the
malaysian constitution states otherwise- you have the indians and chinese (non
Hans) to play with for higher fees than thighland of course.

Both are relatively inexpensive, easy living, and fun.
thighland is cheaper, mainly thai speaking, english is understandable in my.
nevertheless both countries are as corrupt.

if you want the best of both worlds, stay at the thai-malaya border e.g. padang
besar, bukit kayu hitam, betong or sungei golok- that way, when you are wanted
in any of the two countries, you can just cross the border ;-)))

Best depends on your budget, interests, and what you intend to
actually do there.

Which country has the most generous visa policy?
For example: India gives you 6 month tourist visa for 60 USD.
Thailand gives a 60 day tourist visa for 25 USD.
Taiwan is strict about visas, so you have to
register at a fake Chinese school to get a student visa.

Keep in mind that the work visa policies may be very different than
the residence visa policies. I understand that Thailand has cracked
down on Westerners trying to stay long-term by getting repeat tourist
visas. Japan gives a 3-month tourist visa on arrival, but you need an
employer to sponsor you to get a longer term work visa.

What is the best asian country for starting a business as a foreigner?
For example-- a foreigner can start a business in India, but not
in Thailand unless he contributes a lot of money or has a Thai wife.

I don't think it's very easy in any of the countries. I do know that
there are a fair number of foreign-run businesses in Tokyo and Osaka,
and Hong Kong has many businesses run by non-Chinese Asians (Indians,
Filipinos, Indonesians...). Singapore might be another option.

what is the best country for working as a foreigner? In some countries, they just pay you in cash and the government never finds out you're working.

Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan - in the other countries you are
unlikely to find paid work without connections or special skills.

In which country are the people the nicest?
I would say Thailand wins this one.

Japan, South Korea, or Thailand.

Which country is the most relaxing, or the most fun to be in --- long
term, not just two weeks at a beach.

I like large cities, so I would say that Tokyo and Hong Kong are the
most fun places long-term.

****! I will never stay in India... So dirty, do difficult people to
communicate with. You must be looking for a revenue.

Plus I don't stay in Malaysia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, this is unstable
region, Tsunami, War is supposed to show up next few years.
