US...

I'd have legions of Yeagers and Silats ready to crucify the upper class in my name.

While you're right about the last three, many people ARE born with the first one.  When you're born with the first one, not having the last three doesn't matter.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.

Just being american will get you a long way in eastern europe.

Just being blond and blue eyed will get you a long way in latin america, korea or japan.

Just hook up with some mediocre chick with a job who want's a blue eyed baby. Former warsaw pact countries you couldn't mooch off of a woman as easily, you'd have to get a job. But that wouldn't be hard for a native english speaker with modern skills. In most modern countries having a car is more of a bothersome accessory than a usefull mode of transportation. Even in mexico public transportation is cleaner, more efficient and cheaper than US public transportation. Having a masters in psych would be a good advantage also, like an extensive survival course for the urban enviornment.

oops, you said no education or skills

Well without any skills you can't even be a prostitute, and you can't even volunteer for medical testing because you can't read the consent form. So as a full grown infant, your uselessness is pretty much universal.
