LOOOOOOL. Can an ACist please make a State gimmick account? Darth Vader, Hitler or Stalin avatar might work. This has serious potential. It can be our Idi v Mr. Francis.

Best Politics gimmick account ever.

Edit: I nominate Kim Jong-il for the State gimmick.

That's not an answer. But if that's the best you've got; fine.

At least I'll know I don't have to worry about ACism becoming relevant someday.

No way! Hugo Chavez FTW!

He's the June 2005 centerfold for dictator of the month.

The Free Market gimmick account was funny, but let's not hijack this into a gimmick account faux debate.

The State,

Weaksauce. You should be more of a "You dirty hippies can't take care of yourselves, so I'll tell you what to do." gimmick.

what is commonly referred to as "The Tragedy of the Commons", in which unmanaged short-term rational behavior on the part of individuals leads to the long-term depletion of natural resources (e.g., overfishing an area in the short term leads to extinction or near-extinction of a species in the long term, which of course could have other long-term consequences).

Watching "Deadliest Catch" right now and for obvious reasons the question popped up . . .

Similarly, suppose Joe Schmoe owns a successful farm on a river. Jane Schmoe buys property 10 miles north and diverts the river as it crosses her property, completely boning Joe. So to speak. Under AC theory, does Joe have any recourse other than trying to pay Jane to not do this?

I thought property rights were the end-all be-all of AC thought? If they're very subjective . . . well, isn't that a problem?
