We live in a world that is constantly changing and that requires from the individuals in the society a flexibility and a very high degree of adaptation. Every change, whether economic, political, social or otherwise, has a major impact on the lives of all people and often not a positive impact. Because many individuals are inflexible and do not embrace change with enthusiasm, courage, and looking to the future, this makes them adopt a position of rejection of the country, of the systems that make up that country, of reluctance toward politics, and a general state of dissatisfaction. All this, combined, increases the desire of individuals to leave their country of origin to take refuge in a country where they have greater security and where they can embrace or are helped by the state to embrace change much faster and more effectively, so that does not suffer. The tendency of people to go to an area that offers them greater opportunities is not something new for the study of the migration phenomenon, on the contrary, it is something that has been studied and understood. What is interesting is that we can develop a model for determining a nation's desire to migrate based on the inconveniences or shortcomings it encounters in everyday life. The research we propose aims to identify the proportions that make up the population's desire to emigrate, by areas and systems and which, put together, can develop a deterministic model that we have called PFN (People for a Nation). This model allowed us not only to determine the level of desire to migrate to another country, but also gave us the opportunity to characterize a country according to those elements that bother individuals more or less.
