> How do you ensure that the clerk isn't just accepting false businesses and giving a percentage to whoever's above?

What do you mean by a “false business”? Here in the US the state of Nevada have not asked me anything except Articles of Incorporation (the state of California later found my file and… also has not asked me anything except $800 a year - which exactly what I was hoping to avoid by filing in Nevada, lol). Number of federally required papers was 0 (zero).

Federal regulations in Russia required much more paperwork. But the libertarian city council in Troitsk just deliberately didn’t care to add anything to the pile. Bad documents - it was actually a problem for the business being registered. If federal regulators caught a discrepancy- the business will be in a huge trouble. So checking the documents- it was nothing more than a service provided by a city council to the company being registered. If the documents were inconsistent - the business will complain.

This setup really worked, as I said in the original post. It’s not a theoretical suggestion.
