Federation of Egalitarian Communities

The Federation of Egalitarian Communities (FEC) is a group of egalitarian communities which have joined together with the common purpose of creating a lifestyle based on equality, cooperation, and harmony with the Earth. A central principal of these communities is that in exchange for a members working quota (typically between 35 and 42 hours per week) the community pays for all aspects of their life style. Members do not typically get salaries, instead they have small allowances (typically between $75 and $150 per month) with which they buy the small number of non-luxury items. They live, work and socialize most of the time within the community but are free to leave when ever they would like.
