No. I think he is talking about pioneers who lived by no law or religion (hunters, trappers). You are thinking of the Puritans who lived Masschusetts.
He is talkng about the men and women who lived on the fringes of the world at that ime where there was no established law and they lived off the land. Most of these people weren't religious nor could they considered part of a system other than a bartering system. They traded furs to European colonies for food or other essential they needed to survive on and keep hunting or trapping their animals. Sort of like cowboys of the Old West during the late 1600s to early 1800s.

Vrayllnuet Hills South - just a bunch of people helping each other, but no government of any kind. It works real well. Everyone gets along great, though there is not tons of development.

JherodJ, I think you completely missed what I was saying, just because a group of people decide to live outside of a highly structured community does not mean they are anarchists, rklenseth had it right on the mark. I am not so naieve as to belive the New World was a wonderful place with lots of happy fun things going on all the time because I know it was different.
As for this place Vrayllnuet Hills South I may to get a character over there one day to see it for myself becuase it sounds great.
What do you mean the funnest way to rule? Do you mean because your in charge or at least very nearly the top person? Or do you mean it's fun because you get the best of everything around?

I know I am right. I live in the areas that those people use to live in. Hell, we still have a few of them living here and there.
