How about every state with laws re: Sunday and alcohol.

Who are you kidding.

Americans haven't "earned this".

I'm glad to hear the bars are still open late. (Definitely later than California which still lives under an archaic WW2 era 2 AM closing time.)

IL laws tend to be tough on sex, drugs, and gambling.

Chicago being Chicago, of course, people find ways to get around those laws.

The higher the population density the more nanny laws you will have.

Only when it comes to alcohol. And even then, I wouldn't say they're "nutso" or hyper-controlling. Antiquated? Yeah, definitely.

I've heard Singapore is very much a nanny state.

One example is, how California legislated stricter vehicle-emissions (pollution) standards than the rest of the USA. Automakers have to make separate (cleaner) models, just for sale in Calif. Another example is that San Francisco also banned state agencies from wasting money buying "bottled water" for social events. I'm sure there are many, many more examples. Possibly in the area of food / animal rights ?

Not only autos have to meet California standards but gasoline sold in California has to be reformulated to meet stricter emission standards. Plastic bags are being outlawed increasingly in many California cities and, of-course tobacco use is restricted more than any other state though many states are following California's example.
