What part of the developed world has the most lenient/reasonable government (irrespective of how controlling/meticulous the written laws are)?

Tbh for me I’m ok with living somewhere where there are a decent amount of regulations, so long as the government of that area goes about it reasonably and don’t come off as authoritarian dicks who just want a hivemind of stupid little worker bees. ofc I’d prefer less regulation but I’d rather the situation I just outlined than a place without as tight rules but a very dickish government I have to deal with if I ever break the rules that do exist.
