FYI, Iceland was some kind of anarchy between 930 and 1262. Which apparently lead to a lot of feuds.
I think it's important to what kind of information governments need to keep secret and what kind they keep secret. Judging by Wikileaks content this seems to be information about (a) wars of aggression (defensive wars apparently need less secrets) (b) providing unfair advantages to private companies (I think ACTA counts here) (c) things they shouldn't allow (such as misbehaving personnel) (d) censorship.
So, we need to ask: does our perfect, imaginary, peaceful state need to keep anything secret from its own citizens? I think no.
