It's fairly difficult to have a fixed abode anonymously. It depends on what your threat model is, but if concealing your location, particularly to the state, is part of your threat model, living nomadically is better. You're talking about something different, which is blending in socially.
If you're legitimately trying to hide from a government, to the point where you're looking at transience as a real possible option, don't live in that country or any of their allies.
It depends on your threat model again. Many people are able to live as fugitives for a long time because they're not very high priority for the cops. I've personally known people who have been able to evade the state just by living nomadically because the state doesn't put many resources towards finding you if you're low-priority. Obviously if you're actively wanted for idk terrorism or something then you'll need more than just a nomadic lifestyle.
