I know what you mean. Just checking.
I've also investigated here and there, I probably know more about how it works in the US and Canada than in the country I was born in.

Where I live you can do something similar. The problem is that there are probably people from the government infiltrated in the organization that helps you with this kind of stuff.
I rather stay under the radar as much as possible, it probably is an illusion I know, but making myself known as a sovereign makes it very easy for them, to know where to go, if they ever decided to round up their opponents.
