Themed Space Colonies

[Charleson Mambo]

So I have been kicking some ideas around as I attempt to do some world building and I could use some help coming up with starting points for themed colonies.

Suppose that space travel is relatively easy and cheap, and that groups much smaller than say a planetary government can scrape together enough funds to go out to a frontier planet and set up their own colony along whatever lines the wish to try. (Religious settlements, social and/or political experiments, historical reenactments (of different level of accuracy), and even sub-cultures or fandoms.)

What kind of cultures, historical settings, etc, do you think would be likely? Possible? Obvious failures people will try anyway?
