As such those who begin to take control and become government like often come down with unfortunate cases of death. Government be it democracy, autocracy, technocracy, or even corporatocracy comes with inherent rules and seeks to control, so it is rumored that certain parties who wish to avoid rules often make use of our perfectly legitimate mercenary agencies to help keep FMB a lawless haven for those who wish to remain ungoverned.
Due to infighting and gang wars we do have various mercenary outfits, but it is unlikely that we could successfully hold off an invasion. A defensive force by the Allied Markets is likely to consist of many small mercenary outfits hired by corporations within our borders and with little communication between them, they will be ineffective. We at the AMIRC have plans to profit off of this eventuality immensely and expect those profits to allow us to ride out the aftermath while we reestablish ourselves. We do not plan to make these plans public due to concerns of our shareholders about winding up dead.
Nevertheless, it is likely that we will need to relocate if we are invaded, so any resistance we do put up will just be stalling for our escape. I suppose that is the problem with having no standing army at a national level, but hopefully nothing large attacks us.
TL;DR
People who are too ambitious get assassinated by those who profit off of the status quo and incase of invasion we run away.

Sorry for the haste but I am in a bit of a hurry. No, I am not mistaking the nature of your nation, we do have known in our long history other examples of AnCap "zones" and their desire to go away from government and ending becoming a new government in everything except the name.
Despite the appeal to novelty despising several government systems, the state of nearly constant low level warfare to avoid one faction to get to far away, and the absolute private nature of the political and economic sphere it has long been known as Feudalism.

Besides small band of mercenaries although as pointed can stall an invasion a determined enemy could wipe out and block the escape route. Luckily there are no militarist nations at present in Lazarus poised to a expansion program right now. Even some of the more weaponized are embroiled in a Civil War in the frozen wastes of the north.

*the holographic display switched off. -Standing up carefully from the flffufy cushion on the white armchair from the greenhouse terrace while chewing some menthol sweets - Elvira what is the next things to do in the timetable for today? The AI housed in the Chancellery appeared as a woman in a dress business. - Captain Lorentz is waiting you in the gym for your morning training (and the triplets are there to say goodbye).

You really enjoyed the visit of the triplets, don't you? A tired smile showed in the face of the Chancellor - Since you have it recorded in HD the question is rhetorical. Do you want to join us next time? They are leaving for Aigania Prime for a few days.You could download in one of the spare gynoid bodies? .

With a nonplussed facial expression the AI answered - Organics ... Maybe next time. Talking about time Chancellor after gym your schedule for today is ... The Chancellor sighted "it was going to be a really long day" mused as he entered the training area.
