CND, this goes for you to. Your govt that exists to promote cooperation. How does it apply to this example?
Interesting example, and one that dosn't exist in a real society. If you unable to get that water yourself, then yes, it does. If not its your duty to your village to get the water, unless your doing somehting thats also useful to the village.
