Answer
Your intention to live a Shar'ee compliant life is indeed very noble. You enquired about moving to a Muslim country to achieve that. It is unfortunate to state that at present there is no Muslim country in the world that has an environment of strictly adhering to the Shari'ah.
The so-called Muslim countries are under western influence and there is very little of Islam there. The leaders of the Muslim countries are concerned about their power and luxuries than practicing and implementing Islam. Therefore, moving to any Muslim country to grow up in an Islamic environment may not serve your purpose. We advise you associate with the Ulama and pious people of your locality and work towards establishing an Islamic environment. By associating with pious people and more so in the effort of establishing a Deeni environment, it is more likely you will achieve your purpose of maintaining your faith and being Shari'ah compliant.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
