Since most pagans are accustomed to feeling like outsiders at times. Let's imagine if it was reversed, just hypothetical. What if you were a leader of a community established with a few hundred basically like minded people. What would it be like? What rules would be needed? What would you teach the kids?

Toooooo many ifs and variables involved here for me to start.
Buddhists and Hindu's for example are pagans. What they teach there people is dependent upon environmental conditions such as topography and climate, personal and community wealth, job availability and stability, diet and availability and variety of food, historic cultural and social structure, just to name a few.
It's variables such as these that dictate how we conduct ourselves within our communities to promote the well being for ourselves and our community. And it's the parents job to do the teaching not the leaders.

If you mean a real, physical village it would have to be out of a major city or large town. Like one of those walled badroom comunities you see that used ti line the highways and looked like a medieval village getting really to repell a siege. The community will have to get together and in a series of town meetigs decide how it will define and govern itself. Good luck with that one!
OR a rich person will start a 'town', incorporated or not, begin the corporate that would permit the 'home owners association' to supply the start up so thye can buy homes and supprt for the town.
Laws? Rules? Education?
Even I can't dare that! It is a given with a toen of nothing but free spirited anarchists no one would agree with anyone! On principle.

It is quite a nice place - my extended family all live in the same area in Scotland - the township where I was born has no christians living there, I am related to all households, and there is no crime, no arguments, no bigotry, and the township laws, regulations and policies are all geared towards, and by our particular brand of Paganism.

It does sound nice muladzh.
No, wouldn't write a story about that. Get tired of threads complaining about not being accepted by society and thought it might be a more positive topic.
