Botswana.
Land is free, university is free.
We don't have great universities in the country. Up until a few years ago when you finished school you'd go and sign up for university at the Ministry of Education. They'd get back to you a few months later telling you where you'd go and what you'd study. Like, "Congratulations, you'll be an Electrical Engineer and you'll spend four years studying in Adelaide, Australia." Thousands of village kids have interesting careers all over the world because of this. To few were coming back so they've started phasing it out and educating in-house.
When you turn 21 you are entitled to apply for 4 different kinds of plots - residantial, commercial, subsistence agriculture, ranch. Waiting lists are long, but you will eventually be allocated one on which to do what you want.
It's quite quick to get a ranch plot - just drive out in the kalahari and peg it, like the US homesteaders. You can peg a circle up to 8km in diameter.
Oh, also up until the early 2000's you were entitled to 100 goats when you turned 21.
EDIT: Remembered another one. Botswana is the size of Texas and has 2 million people. That's the population of Houston.

Low corruption goes a long way. Botswana has corruption index ranking comparable to rich countries.
