Best Answer

The term nanny state is a derogatory term used for governments, who are seen to intervene excessively in its citizens lives.

The term would almost certainly be applied by libertarians against countries with welfare states. Where a government sees itself as having an obligation to all aspects of a citizens welfare, such as providing free Health care, Education, unemployment assistance as well as other welfare benefits. They also characteristically have highly developed workplace regulation.

The recent banning of smoking in public places in the United Kingdom and Ireland brought allegations of the nanny state.
