You remind me of the islands in Maine. My dad used to have a mobile law office and he took it to the islands sometimes. There is almost no government, except what people make for themselves. The problem is when people move to the island and deside to break the unwritten rules of the islanders; going by other laws the islanders disreguard. Sometimes their rules might seem stringent ,but they keep their lives in order. Even if you marry into an island the lobsterman might not allow you to set traps there.
