Similar experience with Estonia. It is way overhyped to what it is in practice. It is quite tiny and poor country, and understandably they try to attract foreign business and investors. However just some e-residency card which is not that useful in practice doesn't solve that. The general operating environment feels like that old fusty soviet union, and that is just not that easy problem to solve.

Not that it really feels like old Soviet (I was born in really "Old Soviet" one), but it surely has a bad PR taste targeted on "influencers", VC media and fellow bureaucrats from other countries (like they constantly trying to win some bureaucratic Oscar or something), instead of entrepreneurs, and all of that have become very irritating in the last couple of years.
