I'm not sure in what kind of barbaric anarchy you are living to give you that perspective, but you can't be more wrong.
The tax police in Germany is a fact of life that people have to deal with there and ratting out your neighbours is a national past time.
Again, Germany is highly individualistic. Respect for privacy is very high here. What you say is simply fictitious because most neighbors have no idea what other neighbors doing, because they do not poke nose in others affairs - not without an invitation.
But yes, if you do openly something illegal, just like in any other country, you would be reported to authorities. That's because law (which is the same literally all around the world) makes you an accomplice if you do not report crime.
If you were ever convicted in Germany, that might explain your sentiment.
I prefer societies that realize that the individual is more important than the collective personally.
Germany is highly individualistic. Yet, if you put individual over society, than it simply means that there is no cohesive society. And the society is there to deal with global problems of which there were plenty in recent times.
It is hard to find and it is not a society bound by nation borders, it is a society above such notions and limits.
Mafia? Organized international crime syndicates? Fit your requirements perfectly.
