There is a place in Chiapas, Mexico. An independent indigenous village little known to the public runs on a Democracy. They call it "adaptive Democracy". They all agree that everybody has a place and a function, but depending on circumstances or situation, the leadership and method changes or adapts. They regard ideologies as tools, which all are efficient, depending on the situation. Let's say there is a drought and the harvest is dying. Because the survival of the people depends on the harvest, it is the farmers that become the leading faction. They are in charge until the problem is solved. when the problem has been solved, the system adapt again to what is most pressing. If there are no issues, then the "maintenance" team takes over, to keep things stable and running. In case of conflict, another group of experts take over until the conflict is resolved and so on.
They have some different rules. They don't allow pictures to be taken. Use of alcohol and drugs follows a death sentence. Killing is allowed under certain circumstances(but happens rarely). Everybody are, by law, required to carry a weapon(or more) for self-defense. Animals are not killed or shunned, unless they are threatening the lives of the community. But a Jaguar who takes one single kid for food, is okay and is left alone. They have the understanding that if they kill nature, they kill themselves. They do not allow religions access. Since 1950's they started killing missionaries. In the beginning there was a little conflict with the state of Chiapas, but it was resolved by putting up a sign at the only road going to the village that clearly stated that religious missionaries where not accepted. They have one computer with a 28.8K modem. The generator runs by two people turning a wheel outside. Otherwise no other modern technology is allowed.
Hardcore people of nature.
