Nolan, Natalia, Victoria, & PaulBlock 3World Geography
History
Set 63 years in the future, our utopia has existed for 50 years and was founded after a international nuclear war that started in 2016 and lasted to 2024.
AKA WWIII The War didn’t change any natural features of the
world or weather patterns, but nuclear fallout and radiation has caused some dead zones in Northern Russia
The government was founded by the surviving world powers of the war
And show how the world may rebuild after a apocalyptic event
The Government, “The Council” The Council is the new international
legislature of our utopia and functions in a similar manner to our American Senate
All countries, now called “States” now have the same number of representatives in the Council, which is 10
Each of these representatives, or “Council Speakers”, serve three year terms.
The Responsibilities of the Council Primarily responsible for resolving issues
between states using diplomacy, and result in benefits for the majority
The three major issues handled by the Council are usually involving worldwide Education, Infrastructure, and Transportation.
The other issues are the Advancement of Technology and International Diplomacy.
Other social services like sanitation, traffic, and energy are also meditated by the Council
The council also makes the laws, with the majority vote needed to pass laws into existence
The Council Mediated Military Force AKA The CMMF is under the control of
the Council Functions as an worldwide police force Enforce laws and the constant 5%
income tax Primarily used as a means to lessen
violence and give people a military career
Was based on the remnants of the US army post war
The Justice System
Based in small courts with small areas of jurisdiction that combine and extend up to the Council.
The courts are expected to be regulated by each state.
Lawsuits challenging laws also brought to the council for debate.
Technology
Very advanced and are relatively distributed equally amongst states
Modern energy needs are now met using renewable natural resources and nuclear power.
The newest nuclear fusion generators for example are used in multistate projects like our space colonies on the moon and Mars.
Health Care
Is available to everyone Public epidemics are no longer a
problem due to recent cures of common diseases
The cures are due to advances in stem cell research and reverse-engineering of past disease strains
People are healthier and more productive
Education
Standard required classroom education starts at age 5 ends at 16, for nine years total
Education varies per state due to cultural issues The study of Mathematics, Sciences, Literature, History,
and Physical Education are the main classes Other smaller education programs are in place before
and after school to help students All students are taught Diligence, Tolerance, &
Temperance to promote productive lifestyles Most are then encouraged if not helped to go to college
by Council funding. Most college education is still held in a college setting
Social Classes & Family Systems Racism, sexism, and old forms of social prejudice are at
an all time low Family systems are still influenced by the various state
cultures Most parents are asked to limit themselves to a number
of children that they can support The parents raise their own children, with the normal
standards of godparents and adoption are the same as one ones today
Children are born by natural means, and with the availability of healthcare, most children are born healthy
Media & Economy
Media is also still free, but the press is mainly used to educate people of worldwide issues on an unbiased manner, informing the populace of new Council, State, and local events
A mixed economy is also in place, with markets now able to compete between states on a much larger scale with minimal interference from the government
The economy is currently booming, with many new jobs being made because of the new technologies
Problems
The biggest one is over the distribution of the new nuclear fusion technology
There are many states arguing over why only select states are given control and the benefits of the new generators, and many say it is a form of government conspiracy
But the limits of these nuclear arms are so strict due to possibility of past terrorist factions from the War obtaining this tech, and using it as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
Another major problem is how other states have gained higher influence in the Council due to economical and political power in their state
But movements to allow for the impeachments of Council Speakers are being promoted
A new Bill of Rights and Checks and Balances System is also in the works
The End
Any Questions?
