I've generally found developing countries to be very libertarian in the sense that you can live your life, how you want, nobody cares about your safety.
You can take whatever kind of risk you want. Want to build some ugly utilitarian building go for it. But there often is more corruption and the specific protections that we used to have against government intrusion don't exist.
Americans don't care if the USA is a police state, but Americans lose their minds if North Korea has tyranny.
