Didn't one of the networks do this with kids several years ago? Ah yes, Kid Nation.

The Founding of Kid Nation
Anyway, here is the new show: Fox's Utopia. I suspect that it will be more like Survivor in terms of how people deal with one another.
There is eEgalitarianism at the very beginning, with all involved in deliberation and decision-making. Individuals, no families, I assume.
They have to wait it out only a year; no permanent changes to their lives, no real consequences to their decisions or behavior. How would things be different if they knew they had to do this for their very survival, and that there was no "real world" to which they would return? And who is enforcing the prohibition against violence?
It is based on the Dutch reality tv show of the same name - how'd that end out?
