Thanks for the comment, lechmazur, I referenced Alaska in my question, but disqualified it from UBI status on the basis of it not being an “income”, e.g. not being significant enough to live on, and also to a lesser degree, not being paid monthly or weekly, but yearly.
I do agree with you though, that Alaska seems to be the US State most oriented towards a UBI, the dollar value of their PFD would just need to increase by an order of magnitude for it to qualify as a UBI, imo.
California. Just a hunch.
Makes sense:
Tech brings in a lot of per-capita income
Tech brings in utopian, disruptive voters
One of the most progressive states
If we’re counting states then Alaska already has UBI.

Sounds like a sensible distinction.
When it comes to countries, I think Norway should be the odds-on favorite. Their sovereign wealth fund is at $250k per citizen.
