I was going to mod on this, but to explain the comment to the non-USA folks:
New Hampshire is a bit of an oddity in the USA, especially on the Eastern seaboard. The State Motto, literally written on every single vehicle license plate, is "Live Free or Die." Having relocated from another state, we thought that was a quaint saying, leftover from the Revolution.
It's not.
NH does not require motorcycle helmets, vehicle insurance, seatbelts, has no income tax, sales tax, knife laws, or smoke detector laws. And we don't require a permit to carry a firearm either open or concealed (though, in practice, no one carries open). We are the only state in the USA that does not require car insurance (Ok, there's sort of a loophole in Virginia for this), you can ride in the bed of a pickup truck, etc... The State is very big on personal and town-level accountability. The view, in general, is that you let the people chose their own way, and there are consequences for the choices, too. It's not like a lot of states that nanny you. While Vermont is known for the libertarian streak, NH is a little more balanced, though some of that personality of our neighbor comes in.
Let you think it's the Wild West: It's also not. In our view, by the state staying out of most things and letting the people do as they see fit on a personal and town level, there is more sense of community than other places we've lived. About the tax structure: no sales/income tax, but the property taxes are "high" compared to the surrounding states. They're still not as as high as other states (New Jersey, New York, California).
