I also think that the interplay between a small, private association and the bigger players of the world, like the state, is interesting. Like, if a private association starts a private property registry for real state, how does that work when the state still has its own registry and wants to enforce it? I also think that the ways of working of criminal organizations are an interesting thing to analyze.
I also find the Amish interesting. More so in their desire to really not bother anyone, convince others or generally change whatever is outside of their scope.
I'll read about these Game B people. But I must say that I briefly skimmed through the wiki and I didn't understand shit. Feels like just a few random pieces of text stringed together.

The state always takes precedent, since from its own perspective, contract-like things made in other organizational structures have no reality to it. This leads to some interesting intersections where a subgroup enters into an agreement that has important meaning within the group, and no meaning to the enclosing entity (the state). Think religious practices of non Judeo-Christian religions; or ceremonial agreements of native people, etc. Even things like sports leagues, which have their own rules: should players have been able to sue Bill Laimbeer for playing dirty, or should his bullshit only be adjudicated by the League? When does a foul become assault?

It's possible that the wiki isn't a great intro if you don't know something about it already -- I learned about it from it being mentioned on various podcasts. Jim Rutt talks about it alot, he was one of the "founders" of the movement; another was Jordan Hall, formerly Jordan Greenhall. Both very interesting and smart guys.
