I used to be a libertarian, but reading about international organized crime made me realize we do need the state because these people won't be stoped by NAP principle-touting ideologues. financial havens definitely and provably assist in building organizations that can subvert governments, and not in favor of your freedoms I assure you.

The UK has the crown dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, various Caribbean holdings), the US has various vassal states (as I understand it), France is the same, then there are the microstates like Monaco. None of it could exist without the tacit consent of large countries that have legal or diplomatic sway over these jurisdictions.
