Overview

An Izara Community will exist within an existing country and it's laws, and within an existing society and their beliefs. Because Izara Communities wish to be A template for society it should strive to live in peace with it's host society, obeying all rules and respecting local beliefs.

Obeying local laws at all times and respecting existing power structures more likely allow the community to survive within it's host country.

Understanding and engaging in the local customs and beliefs of the host society will show a respect for the people the community lives among and who the community wants to teach through example a different way of organizing society. Community members are not better than non-members.

Over time if local laws or beliefs are at odds with an Izara Community, the community could make allowances to appease those differences, with the goal of educating society that it would be beneficial to make changes.

Limit of appeasement

Each Izara Community will choose the level it will submit to outside influence, for example if engaging in high level corruption or physical harm to innocent people is antithetical to core Izara Community concepts, the community would need to weigh up options in such situations and decide how to proceed.
