If the strange and little-known case of the condominium of Moresnet — a wedge of disputed territory in Northwestern Europe, and arguably Europe's counterpart to America's so-called Wild West — acts as our guide, we must conclude that there is an inverse relationship between the size and scope of government and the potential for both peace and prosperity.

The remarkable experiment that was Moresnet was an indirect consequence of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–15), which, like all wars, empowered the governments of participating states at the expense of their populations: nationalism grew more fervent, many nations suspended specie payments indefinitely, and a new crop of destitute amputees appeared in streets all across Europe.

At the Congress of Vienna, which concluded the war, borders were redrawn according to the "balance of power" theory: no state should be in a position to dominate others militarily. There were some disagreements, including one between Prussia and the Netherlands regarding the minuscule, mineral-rich spot on the map known as the "old mountain" — Altenberg in German, Vieille Montagne in French — which held a large zinc mine that profitably extricated tons of ore from the ground. With a major war recently concluded and the next-nearest zinc source of any significance being in England, it behooved the two powers to jointly control the operation.
