Your nation has 400 people per/SM. If you loose 90% of your population you still have 40 PSM which is a freeking mob by primitive living/basic agriculture standards. You are not going to "hide" anything for very long. Your neighbors will not have to overrun you, they will simply gather togather and out vote you!

There will always be a government presence and it will always be making the attempt to restructure behavior to its own advantage.

The first thing a group of anglo-saxon decendents do in a crisis is elect a leader, assistant leader and secretary treasurer! You will never escape government and rule of law, even if it is bad law.

This means that you will always be held accountable for your actions, even in crisis. It might not be today or tomorrow, but eventually there will be a knock at the door by someone with a warrant in hand or a mob with pitchforks and flaming brands.

The dream of becomming the warlord of your own region and establishing your own law as you go should be left to those addicted to the digital screen and high tech gaming.

This is espically true in your society where weapons are in limited access and what is available is basiclly useless for offenseve or defensive actions. A government does not have to have superior firepower to dominate, simply more people than you can deal with. A single person with a single Motov coctail or flaming arrow would put an end to all your carefully lain plans in one instant.

Espically disconserting if he is an "officer of the court" operating against an accused hoarder.

when was the last time you were in England? things have changed a lot since your country was one of our colonies.

we have had this topic on this site before, basically the British govt havent got enough troops or police to FORCE their will on anyone, at most they may be able to control London but the rest of the country would be like your wild west !Big Grin
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
