Oh. You mean anarchism? Yep. That's why we need to learn about anarchism: to practice designing and playing different societal games from the norm.

That's what communes were historically used for. Examples include the Paris commune, and Josiah Warren's various experiments [1]. I also just discovered this wiki article while trying to remember another example (it was Freetown Christiania), which is pretty cool: [2].

  I'm wanting to add one to the second link, tentatively called THE NORTH POLE or maybe by a name that lists every core value and building of the community in the name so people can know exactly what they're getting into from just the name.

I thought this article might be about (and think it should've been about) games like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_(card_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_(card_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game) ...but especially Nomic, which has apparently been played online since the 1990s.

  Nomic is partial inspiration for the design-your-own-religion religion I've defined as Iggnnominism. I consider myself to be a monastic practitioner, an Iggnnomic abbottess (gender-neutral monastic steward of a temple or temples). It's basically acknowledging life as a Nomic and everyone's got their own version going.
