6.2

Create your own Eutopia. Remember the distinction between Utopia, Eutopia, and Dystopia… Brave New World is, in the opinion of most of us, a dystopia. Create your happy place.

Here are the requirements:

•Map including key geological (mountains, seas, etc) and geographical (cities, towns, farm land, etc) factors

•Climate

•Population

•Form of government (or lack thereof)

•Overview of societal institutions (marriage, education, etc.)

•Method of enculturation from one generation to the next

•Method of exchange (labor, goods, services, etc)

•Allocation and distribution of resources and finished goods

Think of this as a travel guide for a visitor. It should have the import facts and figures but also tourist spots both man made and natural, what to do on a Saturday night (assuming there is a difference between work week and weekend in your eutopia), local customs (so the visitor doesn’t go around insulting people inadvertently and get himself arrested or worse).

Finally, think of this as a eutopia in a personal sense it doesn’t have to be everyone’s definition of a perfect society. You do however have to justify why this is your eutopia.

 Austwanaii(Island paradise) 

Climate: Hot!! … Coldest temperature is 15 degrees.

Population: 100,000

Form Of Government/ Method of exchange/ Allocation and distribution of resources and finished goods: Everyone has powers (given to them by being on the island, so even vacationers can have them when they come to the island) to give themselves only what they need (necessities), they make everything else they WANT by hand or by ordering it from the united states or Canada and have it shipped to the island by a ship. There are Magic Police that will appear if you break an island law and kick you off the magical island and send you into the real world, also your powers are useless against them.

Societal Institutions: Children go to the one school on the island to learn for 12 years then, if they want, can be home schooled by a teacher whom comes and goes when called upon by their powers. If anyone wishes to get married they call on the minister with their powers.

Method of enculturation from one generation to the next: Everyone is aloud to believe in what they want without being judged and with the powers to call on personal teachers those teachers can teach anything the student desires (any religion, career, or course).

Other : other than students going to school there are no specifics, people over 18 years of age can chose to live their lives however they want. You can make money by having your own farm or your own teaching school (surfing school or horse back riding school) and selling you products to the united states or Canada.

Attractions/Island Hobbies: Horse back riding, Surfing, Sea-Doing, Boating, Scuba-Diving, Snorkeling, Deep Sea Fishing, and Dog-Sledding on sand, if you are on vacation to the island you must pay someone to bring you to do these activities(whether it is payment by money, food , cloths, anything the person will accept) .

Island’s “main” animals: Dogs, Horses, Kangaroo’s, Koala’s, and Panda’s.

Island Law’s: No harming any of the Islands main animals. Every Person under the age of 18 must attend the island school at least 3 times a week. Every Person Living On the island must have one of the above hobbies. No stealing other people’s belongings (you can get your own EASILY). No killing anything or anyone.

Map: There are no cities and towns, we are surrounded by water, there are some areas of the island that are better for farming and some that are better for houses, also some areas of forest which are good for using wood to make stuff you WANT like a surfboard.

My Eutopia is what it is because it is a very laid back and relaxed community. I am a very relaxed laid back person but I like to have fun which is exactly what Austwanaii Is for. Its for people who like to live life without having to worry about money and bills and unfortunate stuff like going bankrupt or having to go to work every day. I would live to live in a place where everything was handed to you but you can work if you would like. I would love to live in a world with no fighting and all fun all the time!
