I'd say your best bet would be to join the French Foreign Legion. They don't care about your background and if you live you'll get French citizenship at the end of your enlistment. AFAIK they might not want to take crazy people though so you'll need to tone it down a bit before you talk to them.

Hmm and I who thought that they do check your background before letting you in(sign the paper)They should have done this since the beginning of the 70's.

Well sorta. From Wiki:
Quote:
The legion today

Men between the ages of 17 and 40, of any nationality, may join the legion. Recruits enlist under an assumed name—a requirement known as the anonymat—but a legionnaire may request to serve under his true name after a year of service.

Although the legion shields every legionnaire’s privacy, each prospective recruit is thoroughly interrogated to discover his motivation for joining the legion and to determine whether he has a criminal background. Those who have had minor scrapes with the law are acceptable—even preferred—as they are assumed to be more willing to turn their backs on their former lives and fully integrate into life in the legion; serious criminals, however, are unwelcome.
So i'm not sure if there are background checks beyond interrogation but in any case Gorpet should be good.
