A few years ago the small country Estonia announced that they will be offering e-Residency to everyone in the world, to everyone who wants it. E-residency is sort of a borderless digital society for global citizens. The e-Residents have access to the EU business environment and they can use e-services by using their digital identity. The main idea behind is to offer people a way to run location-independent EU business online and give them all the necessary tools to conduct business online.
So far people from over 150 countries have applied for e-residency.

What makes it all even more worthwhile is the fact that Estonia is a member of EU, NATO, OECD, the company's startup and maintenance costs are low, and there's 0% corporate tax on reinvested profits in Estonia.

Right now there are more than 35 000 e-Residents, 10% of them are from Finland, 6% from Russia, closely followed by Ukraine, United States, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Italy, China, India, France. More than 5000 companies have been created by e-Residents. You can see the full real time stats here.
When it comes to Estonians, 98% of residence have ID card that they can use to run their company, do their taxes, do online banking and everything else imaginable. And Estonia is #1 in Freedom on the Net according to Freedom House data from 2016.
