Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

It need to be a country that is safe for foreigners, low crime rate, clean environment, clean air and water, decent level of health care, good food. Poorer developing countries often does not fill all of these requirements. A few does.

I seem to remember there was an American trader doing just that in France (Paris) on Elitetrader and he had mentioned he only needed to show $20k in funds for the extension.

I have followed the PT-route for a few years. I haven't kept up well with the subject, but i did notice that countries like Costa Rica and Thailand, that were popular with PT's, started implementing the 180 days/year rule.

Does anyone have any knowledge about the popularity of these new rules? How many people live in Portugal seeking "shelter" in these rules?

It does not have to be popular, it should work like you think it should work.
It is very simple: go to the portugese offices of Deloitte or PWC and let them ask the important questions to the tax administration. I would never go anywhere without a written confirmation about what will be excempt from taxes.
You should never do it yourself, and never take for granted what you find on internet.
If you consider to make this step it means you make big money, so paying for good advice can be cheaper than making the step based on wrong information.

Advice from PWC: However, the information is general in nature and therefore we recommend that you seek professional advice before making any decision in this area.
