There actually is taxation clickhappy, but that only applies to local businesses - even then they are silly low :-)
But, eg, any revenue generated from net operations are not taxable since the source is "external". You don't even get such a thing as a tax form, even to check the source - they are not exactly pro-active at tax collection :-)
Despite that, yea, the roads are not exactly works of engineering, but they do end up with excellent healthcare and education system. Part of the reason for that is, least in CR, they don't have an army to support - kinda like Switzerland - and have no wish to have any military on CR soil.
It's all a matter of choices and preferences :-) After years of "wars" and military stuff, they decided to settle down and make this illegal under the constitution. CR is now.. think it's suppose to be top of the league - for being "peaceful".
