In light of recent events concerning new GPS tracking and national ID cards...

Are there any countries remaining that are free? That is, no socialist tax structures, no items banned for "public safety" purposes, no government leaders pushing to control the population's every move... Or were the US and UK the last ones to leave this club?

Here !

No Tax,

No Speed Cameras

Freedom of movement...

Only slight fly in the ointment is that the unions go on strike for the slightest reason..

Somalia up until recently didnt even have a government. Lots of 'freedom' to be had there.

Antarctica is looking pretty sweet too.

Can we please hurry up and invent interstellar travel.

I think you would find Antarctica very un- free as it is basically governed by large corporations.

Some funny reading here:www.bigdeadplace.com/

in "Ask an Antarctican".

The place certainly looks free of CCTVs, scameras and New Labour though (unfortunately, it appears mostly free of roads too)

Costa Rica, watch the sun rise over the Caribbean and set over the Pacific, no scamaras, not much tax and everyone is good looking.

Does Bermuda still have the rule of no more than one car per household and a maximum speed on the Island of 30/40mph?

Well the way China's going... and the way the US and UK are going... soon China may score a bit higher on the civil liberties/freedom scale?
