Over the past years, I studied several countries and their residency options. Out of all the countries I considered, Paraguay was one of the countries that reached the top of the list, and here's why:
Paraguay offers one of the easiest and fastest residence programs in the world in 2023, making it very appealing to the average person who seeks a plan B in a different region on this beautiful planet.
Unlike other regions that embody xenophobia and racism, Paraguay is a very open-minded country.
In just 3 years of residency - you can apply for Paraguayan citizenship. Foreigners are also permitted to own property in Paraguay. Likewise, full company ownership (100%) is allowed, making it a liberal place for people who want to establish themselves in Latin America.
To your success,

Under its territorial tax system, Paraguay does not tax its residents on overseas income. E.g., You used your Irish company to pay yourself a $200,000 salary in 2022. With Paraguayan tax residency, you would not pay taxes on your salary.
Income generated abroad is not taxed in Paraguay. This is a distinct advantage that not too many countries on this planet offer at the moment.
Paraguay is an immigrant country with a proven track record of liberalism. As a resident of Paraguay, you enjoy full reciprocity in terms of civil and property rights, meaning you're treated equal with citizens.
Liberalism is the cornerstone of immigrants whose goal is to establish themselves in a foreign country.
In Paraguay, foreigners can own 100% of the land their home is built on and 100% of their residential properties.
So you are in a much better position buying property in Paraguay than if you were to buy property in Thailand or the Philippines.
As of 2022, a Paraguay passport gets you access to over 142 countries and territories. While a Paraguay passport isn't as strong as an EU passport, it still gets you access to more countries than most other passports in the world.
3-years of residency is enough to apply for Paraguayan citizenship. Some countries require 5-10 years of residency before you can apply for citizenship. The shortened path to citizenship is yet another big advantage that speaks for Paraguayan residency.
As a foreigner, you can own 100% of a company in Paraguay. This means that you don't need a local partner to start a company in Paraguay. Each company needs one resident director, which will be you, but you are not required to have a Paraguayan partner.
Whether you want to open an ice cream shop or a marketing agency, you can do that without a Paraguayan director. This provides peace of mind, knowing that you can and will be in charge of your own company.
