Wtf? How is it a contrived game in any way? It's an extremely nice indicator of how developed the place is. Trusting and equality are hugely important factors so you start with that, as is logical. If someone freerides, you punish them.
It's the real world example of tit-for-tat strategy, which is (apparently almost) the optimal one.

I run into these situations every day. Like the littering scenario mentioned in the article. And this is a tiny version of real-life when dealing with pollution (which crosses national boundaries), climate change, and more.

Having to deal with the tens of people involved in my home buying process and deciding how well to treat them based on their impact to the process and personal bias. Playing Euchre/board games with an unfamiliar group of people. Trying to get laid in a bar.
