The Confederation of Helvetia would do nicely. You are free to shoot up heroin in the park if you so choose. People can leave their sidewalk displays out and unguarded for their two-hour lunch break. They do not have a war against drugs and you rarely see the police. Cameras take pictures of speeders and traffic light runners and you get your ticket in the mail. You have to be 16 to buy beer and wine and they don't have a drinking problem with teenagers. It is very clean and what they call dirty air, you would call pure oxygen. They have the only river running through a European capital that you can swim in. Topless sunbathing and swimming is not only allowed it is common. They are not ruled by Puritan ethics.
