Maybe if you want to move into a rural area you should have an interview or at least take a test to see if you would fit in.
I believe its like that on Norfolk Island and it is the case on Fair Isle, a little island between Orkney and Shetland. If the existing residents don't think you'll fit in, no go. Other places I've been don't vet incomers, but if your a pain in the butt, the local shops ignore you (no service), the mail man doesn't deliver and the garbage man leaves your bin alone etc.
I think the Amish call it "shunning"
