Unless local governments have the ability to levy significant taxes, the experiment would be unrealistic. The impact of UBI needs to be studied at the societal level, not just the individual level. Who pays the higher taxes, which jobs would find no takers, where would wages need to increase to compensate, etc. Most countries which are not the Unites States don't have the power to make large scale systematic changes that this requires. It might not be possible even in the US, what with states shipping homeless people to other states and all.
