I would get many ideas from Liechtenstein, because I am an ancap but also a conservative. In the sense to preserve what good things and ideas are there to be conserved. And Liechtenstein survived the test of time with its good ideas, naturally it's not an ancap paradise but the closest land on that regard nowadays IMO.
Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland

Nope, those are communist hellholes compared to Liechtenstein, whose monarch basically calls himself an AnCap.

Singapore I see it as a dictatorship, Hong Kong a bit better. Switzerland very good but too big and nowadays fell into many collective ideas, but still much better than EU in general. Anyway the practical idea is decentralize as much as we can, bitcoin helps a lot but also freedom tech, let's promote both!

Switzerland is a federation, Confederation of Helvetica
edit: Why do you see Singapore as a dictatorship? I know they have some harsh laws such as caning for littering, etc

because they put people in jail for dropping a bubble gum at the street or for smoking marijuana, I am totally in favour of civilized atutide and against drugs. But I don't think it's fair how their treat people as criminals for small uncivilized actions or for usung substancies that make bad only for themselves. I mean it's a total unproportional justice system IMO.
