Central Georgia city in the Coastal Plain — anchored by Mercer University, the Otis Redding Foundation, and the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House. Downtown Macon and the Mercer Village district are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Georgia has state income tax (5.39% flat). The structural draws are deep Southern-rock-and-soul music cultural heritage, central-Georgia geography, and meaningfully cheap pricing.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
