Are you more free if you are in a place without strong institution to ensure infrastructure and basic services for everyone ?
If you are financially well off and can develop your own infrastructure and pay for the services you need maybe. But you still most likely rely on existing infrastructure and require workers to be healthy and educated.
Not sure this would be an improvement for the happiness of most peoples if you have freedom but no opportunities.
a place without strong institution to ensure infrastructure
Why do you need a "strong" institution to build it for you?
People build infrastructure not governments.
When we will stop this bullshit with "we need gov to build the roads" ?

All of them are construct if you really want to go that way.
I don't have a place in mind without strong institution that have sufficient infrastructure to develop the economy. Government is just the mechanism how we find compromise between public and private interest. Does not mean the mechanism cannot be changed.
We can also see what happen when the institution fail in country like Haiti.

Haiti is a really bad example of "failing institutions".
You can't name working institutions in a super corrupt environment.
The violence that erupt from that corruption is not a real anarchy society.
People wrongfully confuse chaos and violence with anarchy... totally wrong.
