Any safeguards.

Yes, the legal/judicial system is centralized. Decentralization would keep things more fair - including the monopoly on violence, removing another safeguard.

Iceland also doesn't have cities where you can be virtually anonymous in the middle of millions.

Indeed, their cultural engineering via immigrants, racism, gender, etc. are very disruptive, intentionally.

Legal safeguards? I think as someone once said of the American constitution sums it up perfectly:

"Either the constitution allows all the thing that have happened, or it has proven to be useless at preventing them. Pick one?"

Why not both?

Well that would be the first choice, that it allows them and so proves useless at preventing them - but take an amused upvote anyway

Monopoly is the game, but hypocrisy is how they play it.
