Whats Perfect?~Post 10

Perfection, is a word everyone wants, or has wanted at some part in their life. But the truth perfection can never be, since no one or thing can be perfect whats the point in chasing after it. My utopia is not perfect, and will never be perfect, but i can always think that it is.

Architecture~Post 6

Each tribe would have the same, but different architecture then the other tribes. For example, some tribes would be poorer than other tribes therefore they would have smaller houses, but would have the same design as other tribes. Also each house would a stone cottage, lit only by lanturn light. The court house would be a giant buliding, about 3x larger then the other bulidings. The tribe's government would use the court as a meeting hall.

Government~Post 5

Is this place the utopia is divided into 4 tribes, 3 in which are used for living, while the 4th is set aside for diplomatic meetings between the tribes. Each tribe is ruled over by a chief, the chief looks over all of the activitys that occur in the tribe. Their is also a chairman, the chairman travels often to the 4th tribe to represent their own tribe, they are also judges in the court, they decide, after the evidence has been presented, if the the accused is gulity or not gulity. Lastly their is an instructer, the instructer places people in certain jobs based off a test they must take in order to be placed in a job. The instructer also can fire people from their jobs, change a person's job, and tell them what to do in their job.

Community~Post 4

People in this place can have as many children as they desire, they can worship what ever they please, but they may not worship evil or they shall torched on the spot. People in the villages, not including diplomats, receive the same or close to the same pay in coins, in which they use to buy items of value. The common language is English, but people are free to learn French, and Spanish. People from all different culture and race backgrounds are welcome here, but must accept most of the tribe's tradtions. Men in the tribe may also become diplomats, but must take an exam before entering this profession, they must start small, as a lawyer or instructer's helper, and work their way up to the higher professions such as judge, chief, or chairmen.

This is another example of how blended with nature this utopia is.

Street Art~Post 3

This just shows how devoted to nature the utopia is.

Individuality~Post 2

In this utopia individuality is not all lost. At this place people have the ability to praise and worship what and who ever you want. But in the government and jobs, you dont get to pick what you do in the economy and government, you aren't even allowed to pick what job you get to do. People in this utopia can worship what they want, buy what they want, and act like what they want, but they cannot get more money, more attention, and pick a different job.

Daily Life and Economy~Post 1 (#2)

The "government" of this place does not command people, they simply guide people on what to do inside their tribes. Their are also a set of laws that every person must follow. Most law's punishment ends with banishment. This place is also very equal, besides male and female equality, the working men recieve all around about 10 coins a week, each coin in the United States is worth about 10 dollars. But it is not allowed to buy items from vendors with this, you simply go to a, what is called, a Coin Store. In this place you are able to buy items to trade with other vendors for things like, food, clothing, and even houses or huts in the tribe. The children in their early years are taught baisc things like, writing, reading, and counting. At the age a 8 the children start going to a small school inside the tribe to better learn about the lifestyle about this wonderful utopia.

Daily Life and Economy~Post 1

On this island is a utopia, this utopia is a tribal commuity, consisting of many different jobs. Such as the men of this place hunt and farm, as well as fish. Many of the women in this place have very simple jobs like, cleaning, cooking, and raising the children. In this utopia their would be three tribes divided by borders. These three tribes would each have a chairman, chief, and instructer. The chairman would represent the tribe at the capital tribe in the middle of the island. This would be a place where only politcal events would be held so it would not be considered a tribe. Also the chief is the head of a tribe, in the fourth tribe's case the chief of the four tribes. The chiefs control their tribes and maintain order. Lastly the instructer assigns jobs to men based on a short test, they also instruct people on to do in their jobs. Also the economy consists of bartering, as in each item has a value and to barter your item must be the same or close to the price of the person's item. The setup of the tribes consists of cottages, wooden bulidings, and a large stone structure where the instructer and chief live and govern the tribe. They do not use electricity, instead they use lanturns and fire to light the utopia. The weapons of war consist of not modern guns but instead simple sabers and flintlocks. Most use the skin from animals for armor. This is the daily life of our utopia.

The Coast

In addition to the rich source of seaproducts, the land’s year-round supply of fruits, vegetables and meat (beef/pork/mutton/poultry) is plentiful.

The large island spans over 1500 acres, with untouched natural forest and a variety of wildlife including small antelopes, monkeys, bush pigs, and birds.

A long, sandy beach stretches 450 meters across the coastline and numerous smaller beaches are tucked away in cozy little coves around the island. The surrounding waters are extremely clear, as there is no direct runoff from the land. Approximately four to five kilometers off the coastline, the water takes a 600-meter drop, making for excellent reef and deep sea fishing. The bay offers very good shelter for boats with up to 2m draft, and allows 24-hour accessibility to the open waters.
