I'm Belgian and I didn't know a whole lot of details about the "Free State" (because of course this was brushed over in school...)

I'm split between surprised and not surprised that the atrocities were made by companies when the administration said "oh yea, there's no law btw, knock yourselves out". A libertarian dream in the end.
