you mean "live"? If so you could move east or west of nowhere. You could get a portfolio together and cold call agencies. Create a website to showcase your stuff and advertise for publicity. Also, see if any local business need models for mailers or adds or whatever

I would not recommend moving until you have done some modeling jobs and are sure you will like being a model, otherwise you will have moved away from all your friends and have a job you do not like, you can get jobs from home and just travel to them, here is some advise if you are thinking about it.
I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

You probably can't. You need to move to either Los Angeles or New York, New York being the preferred choice. There would be more opportunity and training for you there.
Before you leave "Nowhere" it would be cheaper to have your "composites" (photographs) made where you live. Make sure they are taken by a very professional photographer.
However you would want to be sure you are dressed and made .up, including hair - at your very best. If there is a "Glamour Shots" at a mall near you that would be one way to go. Try sending your photos to New York modeling agencies from "Nowhere". If they like your looks they might even pay for your trip to NYC. Start with the "Ford Agency" first. Look up other "modeling agencies" on www.ask.com or www.google.com.
Make sure you stick with the "big name" agencies to avoid getting involved with shoddy hucksters that prey on young women.

Leave the middle of nowhere, get a good plastic surgeon and agent in 'central somewhere' and you're off to the races.
'central somewhere' would include:
LA
NYC
London
Paris

guess if you leaving the middle of nowhere you should probably aim to arrive in the middle of somewhere.
