I live in a country where it has become in a sense illegal not to be listed at an address. If you are not listed at an address, the government flags you as a missing person. If that happens, the banks lock you out of government ID, which is necessary to do basically any type of online banking, and if you have any funds behind an electronic ID wall, you won't be able to access them.

Wtf is the point of all that? Sounds like it just makes the life of homeless people harder for no reason

That is the point. You must either be a land owner or pay rent to one.

Which country?

Lots of European countries have mandatory registration. It makes administration a lot easier.

Always amazed by how much oppression people can put up with.
