in what nation are the usual people the freest from oppression and law (if less law is a good or a bad thing is not the point in this disscussion)?
Icewind-Dale comes to my mind although life can be very tough and dangerous as the adventures of a certain drow ranger should have prooved it
any other suggestions? |

its rather funny ... i vote on Halruaa since its largely selfpoliced ... (and at the same time i think that the Jordain is the 'least' free) |

Skullport really isn't general anarchy. You cannot do whatever you please for fear of being blasted into dust by floating skulls. "Act in a manner we approve or die" is actualy quite oppresive.
The comunity that is most "Free" is an unnamed, unknown comunity far off the beaten path, and several just like it. These places are away from major trade roads and away from the coast so merchant concerns don't drive anyone here. Most likely there is a local constable who is simply the farmer determined best able to deal with problems. As long as there are no problems, there's no law controling what you can and can't do. Live your life, let your neihbors live thiers, and please don't make that poor constable have to actualy do his job for a change, because that's downright anoying.
These kinds of places are my idea of "Free" |

Based on the definition used in the starting post I'd say Featherdale (unless I'm confusing it with one of the other dales). |

It depends on how your defining free, if free is general anarchy then Skullport. But if free is with some laws and more about freedom of the individual i would say waterdeep or Silverymoon. |

I would agree with Jorkens and also choose for the Dalelands. |

I would have to say some of the settlements of the Dalelands myself. Silverymoon would be more about benign laws, as would some of the settlements of the Western Heartlands. Luiren and other hin settlements as well as the gnomish settlements would probably be very free for the inhabitants, but entrusting of outsiders.
You could also include the sylvan races as a whole, although it would be a bit far fetched to call their lands nations. |

Now, do we only talk about human cities and settlements? What about elves, dwarves, halflings ect. and their cities? Matter of fact, we know not much about most of those places. However, I would think that the evlen cities on Evermeet are pretty 'free' in that sense. As for the dwarves, Mithril Hall comes to mind. How about the halfling cities in Luiren - any thoughts?
So thinking inside the scope, as for the human cities, Silverymoon comes to mind easily. |

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast describes the Sword Coast as frontier wild lands where anyone capable of fighting off all the monsters can make whatever they wish of the land. There's no real central authority that I could see. There's no royalty. I don't think the city-state of Baldur's Gate (with its elected so-called "Grand Dukes") feels responsibility for any land beyond its most immediate environs, just outside the city walls. |
