40 kinderen, 40 dagen, 1 dagboek, 1 samenleving
 Kid Nation In Kid Nation strijken veertig kinderen (de jongsten 8, de oudste 15) neer in de omgeving van de Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, New Mexico, voor het avontuur van hun leven. Zónder hulp van volwassenen moeten ze een volledig functionerende samenleving ontwikkelen op de fundamenten van Bonanza City, een oude spookstad. Ze worden hierbij geholpen door een dagboek. Dit dagboek beschrijft de problemen waar de stichters van het vroegere Bonanza tegen aanliepen. Ook bevat het boek oplossingen… die voor de kinderen niet altijd even prettig zijn. Het spelverloop Vier van de veertig kinderen vormen de dorpsraad en zullen belangrijke beslissingen moeten nemen tijdens het spel. De veertig kinderen worden verdeeld in vier districten. Elk dorpsraadlid leidt een district. Elke aflevering wordt er een ‘Showdown’ gespeeld, een uitdaging tussen de vier districten. Als alle districten de Showdown binnen een bepaalde tijd afronden, worden ze beloond met twee prijzen. Ze mogen er echter maar één hebben. De dorpsraad kiest.. en die keuze is vaak ontzettend moeilijk. De plaats waarop elk district eindigt in de Showdown is van invloed op het werk wat het betreffende district de komende drie dagen moet verrichten, en het salaris dat daar bij hoort. De eerste plaats is voor de hogere klasse, ze ontvangen $1,00 en hoeven geen werk te doen. De handelaren zijn de districtleden die tweede worden, hebben de leiding over de verschillende winkels in Bonanza City en ontvangen $0,50. De derde plaats zijn de koks, verantwoordelijk voor het koken, afwassen en schoonhouden van de keuken. De koks verdienen $0,25. De laatste plek wordt ingenomen door de arbeiders, wat zoveel wil zeggen als water halen van een ver gelegen waterpomp, schoonmaken van de toiletten en het doen van de was. Hiervoor krijgen ze $0,10. Hoewel elk district de toegewezen taken dient uit te voeren, staan er geen sancties op het niet uitvoeren van deze taken en staat het de kinderen vrij om hun taak niet uit te voeren. De dorpsraad heeft hierin de verantwoordelijkheid. Elke drie dagen (1 aflevering) wordt er een dorpsbijeenkomst gehouden. Er wordt teruggeblikt naar de afgelopen drie dagen en ook mogen de kinderen kiezen om te blijven of Bonanza te verlaten en terug te gaan naar de ouders. Daarnaast wordt een Gouden Ster uitgereikt aan het kind dat zich de afgelopen drie dagen in de ogen van de dorpsraad het beste in heeft gezet voor het dorp en de samenleving. Dit alles wordt geleidt door presentator Jonathan Karsh in een reeks van 11 afleveringen. |
