Taxes pay for society: education, healthcare, infrastructure, defence, culture. You benefit from these, and expect to benefit in the future from them (e.g. expecting to employ someone with a good education). You should pay your share.

I'm wondering if your opinion in based on facts or rather feelings about much nordics

Sincerely, your ONLY option is to figure out how to make your life easier.

Building is hard. Building something incorporated in a different country could be harder.

But unless you have a product ready to ship, customers, and a need to.raime money right now... just try to make your like easier.
