Nation CS Formal Name: The Independent Society for the New World Order Casual Name: New Beginning Government: Technocratic Democracy. There are 3 levels of Government, from lowest to highest they are the Representatives, the Council, and the President. The Representatives are in charge of each individual specialization. The Council are in charge of the different sections of the city. The President has ultimate say over administrative actions, and approves or vetoes those decisions sent to him by the Council. Each position of Government is elected. Constitution: Each person that chooses to live on New Beginning must: Swear off all ties of their past, change their name, affirm that they will uphold the Fundamentals, create a positive change on the world, help their fellow citizen and do more than what is simply required. Should anyone fail to uphold these promises they may go before a jury of their peers, or they may leave. Population: 50,000 on New Beginning, another 50,000 on the various nearby islands. Currency: The in-nation currency is based around resources, different jobs citizens have offer different levels of resource access. This can convert into the currencies of different nations for trading purposes. Geographic Location: Island Chain between Fiji and Solomon Islands Capitol: New Beginning Language: English Major Religion: There is no religion. Damion believes that religion can only delay his vision. As part of throwing off any ties to their past, everyone coming to New Beginning must give up their former religion. Culture: Each citizen is motivated by Damion's’ Fundamentals, upon which the city is based. They are eccentric in thought, highly intellectual, and hard working. They strive to be athletic scholars. Tropical style food is prevalent. The 16th birthday is when the young become full-fledged working adults, and is an occasion to be celebrated, this is the time when young adults chose whether or not to continue living on New Beginning. History: A young man had a vision of a new world and sought to bring it into being, to do so he traveled the world and befriended those he thought were extremely gifted, those that would have a lasting mark on the future world. To these people he shared his dream. Not all of them agreed with his vision of the world, some felt extremely threatened, but as this man grew more powerful, more and more of those he visited believed him and wanted to help him. It took 50 years to gain the funds and resources to begin his project, 50 years for those people he befriended to gain enough of their own power to help him reach his goal. Thus was Damion Mantrez able to fulfill his dream of creating the new nation that would change the world. Since then another 50 years have passed, the city is growing and Damion’s grandson, Alexander, is currently President. Strengths: Can only be attacked by air and sea. Each citizen trained to defend the island. Highly innovative and intellectual people. Working on new technologies. Weaknesses: People perceived as arrogant. Low populations. Lack of resources available to continental nations. Dependent on the sea, trading, and farms for food, can easily be starved out. Hurricanes and earthquakes are common. ECT: The city is in the shape of a circle and is divided into 4 areas: the Hub (the central area where the governmental offices are located. Includes places to relax and socialize), the Past (focuses on areas on the past that must be remembered for the future. Such specializations include history and culture), the Current (focuses on improving what is currently in place, to prepare for the future. Such specializations include infrastructure and social services), and the Future (focuses on creating the future. Such specializations include science and technology). Each section is focused on fundamentals for society. The different specializations of each section pick a leader who then reports to the Council. Every man woman and child coming to New Beginning has a job to do, they must work hard for the resource access that they are given. As each job is intellectual, Damion wished to keep each citizen humble, and personally involved in the upkeep (construction, cleaning, aka anything that might be considered menial) of the island, this is done in rotations. Each citizen is trained in self-defense, and must be ready to defend the island if so required.
