If a world lasts long enough this kind of thing will evolve naturally. Simply a matter of being willing to defend your trading partners. Of course that requires either stepping beyond loyalty to the immediate group, or realising that such an action benefits you anyway. You don't need to set it up artificially, organisations like this emerge through everyday diplomacy. The strength of the alliance corresponds to the benefit people see in it. If you're trading regularly with someone for some high q product that you can't create yourself, it's in your own interest to extend the arrangement to military support as well. The village mechanic is simply a matter of convenience, villages would grow anyway. Likewise with an organisation such as this.

inaccurate, you have to add "i don't want to do any work" somewhere in there

This is impossible for many reasons, the most self-explanatory being that a group like this is begging for all the griefers to take it down (or infiltrate it). Even if they don't, you're assuming total white knights in your little band of merry hearthlings; by using the hypothetical beneficiaries of this plan as a loot stash, you've made it the most appealing target known to them and forced them to choose between dying defending it and racing in first and maybe getting away with something good for their trouble amidst the delicious, delicious chaos. Which do you expect will appeal more to them?

The naivete evident in this "modest proposal" is staggering.
