> The only thing preventing fraud in your tribe should not be the intangible threat of later consequence from a greater authority. You're supposed to respect each other enough to not prey on your own kind.

In the abscence of fear of punishment by a more powerful actor, if the common good gets in the way of profits, the latter will always prevail.
