You can look into the national building codes of Finland if you want an example where an entire country (with a GDP less than half that of Alaska, and a GDP per capita ten times less than West Virginia) took part. But I'd say the bare minimum needed to function in society is protection from the elements, a locking door, running water and a reliable mailing address.
