Good news. NZ is already in the top-5 economically free countries while still maintaining a respectable social safety. And a couple SaaS heavyweights. Plus, no snakes.

The top 2 free-est counties on that list are run by generally benevolent but completely autocratic governments.

That is simply not true. While clearly not democratic, Hong Kong for example, is most definitely not an autocracy.
