Australia has more non-controlled fields with approaches OCTA than controlled airfields. FIS is provided and you self separate.

US also has loads of non-towered fields, although the airspace around them is usually Class E so controlled for IFR, OCTA for VFR. You get cleared for the approach & then don't have to talk to ATC until cancelling IFR before or after landing.
