There’s also quite a few countries offering digital nomad visas that can lead to citizenship.
You will have to move though, in Malta you can just invest and get a passport

Exactly! The English speaking countries the parent mentions make it “easy” for young people to move there because they want more people to tax at their confiscatory tax rates. The goal of many people buying these other citizenships is to get them without having to become tax resident. Often they have residence visas or PR rights in other places.
For example if you’re an American with a Thailand elite visa good for 20 years or Singapore or Hong Kong PR you might want to get rid of your US passport but to do that practically you need another - literally any will do but these ppl don’t have an interest in becoming tax resident in another high tax place with complicated world wide reporting requirements…that’s literally the problem they are trying to solve by getting rid of the U.S. one.
Australia not recommended. Their work visa only granted for 2nd tier cities or town for work. It is very hard to find one there. New Zealand, not recommended too as their youths also applying to Australia. Canada, for now very migrant friendly to the point they also give free money too (if you fit the bill). But the cost of living there especially rent and housing will make you worst off than a lot of 3rd world countries.
Also if you are young (under 30) you should check what countries you have rights to get a working visa in so you can "try before you buy" so to speak. and once you are in with a job the migration process is generally a lot easier.
If you are old 50+ then forget it unless you are rolling in cash and have a PhD :-)
