Indie community

An indie community is a community where property and work effort are not (partially) shared between the inhabitants. An indie community is not automatically an open community, as some indie communities still require their inhabitants to adhere to a certain spiritual, ideological or religious lifestyle. An open community is automatically an indie community on the other hand, as the defining characteristic of these communities is that they require nothing from the colonist to become a citizen. Certain indie communities reserve the right to refuse citizenship to certain persons even though they require no particular lifestyle of their citizens.

Babel, the largest community and settlement in Folkvangr is an example of an indie community, with its libertarian values. It does contain several communes within the city bounds, but these are voluntary closed sub-communities.
