by slovak laws you have to own ID card, but you can also by slovak laws prove your identity to police by passport (I did this at elections when they stopped me without reason and explained them law) and for applying for passport you don’t need to have ID card, but it’s very complicated and slovak bureaucrats explain law everywhere in different way, that’s one of the reasons why I have not valid ID card for these bureaucrats, nobody except them need it

officialy yes, but you really don’t have permanent residence, your address is whole town/city, it should be also written this way in ID card (which I also don’t have valid and have there old permanent residence, there is hole in laws which allows you to exist only with passport, but it’s complicating life sometimes)

I thought you have to have “permanent residence”, even if at the City Office’s address only.

it’s interesting idea because of taxes but I guess it will make you more problems than positives and after all you will end up with some sort of temporary citizenship from some counry as refugee or something like that

now I don’t have slovak “trvaly pobyt” and it also makes some problems with our stupid bureaucrats

Yeah, since you are located in Schengen, no Schengen visa should be required. Otherwise it could be possibly difficult (specially for US).

I wonder how’d that be with travelling. As a stateless person you’d need visa to go pretty everywhere I guess. At least outside of Schengen.
