The Republic of Cospaia was a 100% ancap community, a small one, which lasted for 400 years or so, and unfortunately gave way to state aggression because they didn't raise a strong defensive force when neighboring states started to become interested in conquest and had the leverage to do it.

This is the one angle on anarchy that makes me a libertarian...sort of. I just can't see military conquest not happening if a society was anarchist.
