What country has the most relaxed citizenship requirements?

Other than the US, which I am currently a citizen of, which country has the most relaxed requirements for non natives? I'm looking for short residency requirements, property ownership, etc. If I could actually get citizenship w/o living there that would be a huge plus.

1. Check out Steal This Wiki's "Get the Hell Out of Dodge" page (link provided), they can explain money, border crossing requirements, et cetera. Seriously read into it, there's a lot you may not have known about. Hope this helps!
2. Afghanistan
3. If you have enough money, you can even become an honorary consul for many poorer countries. If not, I think you will have to reside in one for a time. Belize and Honduras are popular.
4. Somalia. Definitely Somalia. You should think of what your ancestory is. For example, if your mom is Scottish you can apply for citizenship there. It works that way for a lot of countries.
5. apart from the USA I can't think of any other. In the US all you need is $500000 to invest and you get a green card and then 5 years later you get your citizenship. As easy as that.
