While I'm not sure if an anarchistic country would likely get to that state, it nevertheless is a widely accepted fact among pretty much every economist that there should be a government somewhere. The free market is only as effective as the intelligence and foresight of the humans who are in it. In most cases, people are able to know what's in their best interest, and that's why the free market does work most of the times. However, anyone who's done studies on the topic of goods that fall under the banner of either common resources or public goods can tell you that the free market simply does not work to regulate these types of goods. Look up "The Tragedy of the Commons" as an example scenario.
