It is hard to beat the US as a nanny state where we even regulate diving boards in swimming pools, a license to serve drinks as a bartender (depends on state) and not only how you live but how you die (the licenses for funeral parlors are highly regulated in many states to benefit the mob).

Don't worry we've got the liquor license in NZ too. Only someone on duty has to hold the license though, it's usually a manager. "license" is a very strong word in this case, it's basically a course that takes about 2 hours that you can't really fail.
