Italy. Because you need a license to be a taxi driver, and a random company cannot hand them out (and the taxi drivers union is powerful and corrupt). And because the government gotta know who is renting a room where, you can't just go wherever you want without anyone knowing, especially foreigners. Whenever you rent a room in Italy, the owner will take a picture of your ID/passport, and send your data to the local government. Also you gotta pay taxes on the rooms you rent.

    The only things we Italians we are good at is making many regulations, especially ones for safety lmao

    Yeah, we are a bureaucracy machine.

    People (especially us) often make fun of how convoluted our bureaucracy is, but this has made us extremely good at paper moving. If any country had a go at being us, they would collapse.
