Introduction
This image depicts the setting where Pirate Island will settle, grow, and thrive.

The ocean waves brush smoothly against the glistening sand. I can smell and taste the salty water as it gently rolls over my feet, blanketing them in sand. I can feel the bright sun shining on my face. I walk farther on the shore under the cooled shade of the palm trees. The scent of cracked coconuts makes me relaxed and calm. I can hear the waves building up and crashing into each other. I open my eyes and see the bright blue sky without a cloud in sight, starting to fade to pink.

Part I Analysis of the Problem. The rst step in building a successful civilization is to secure basic human needs

such as food and water. Due to its geography, the major challenges the civilization of Pirate Island face in achieving a basic
food and water supply include the following:
up all of our food sources then the citizens of pirate island will die.
1 Since we live on a sandy island, farming is difcult. Instead, we must scavenge the island for the food we need to survive. Wed need to get the fruits from the trees. However they may be very high up. Fishing would be hard. Since we have no shing rod we would have to use are hand which would be fairly difcult. Monkeys could eat our food sources like bananas and coconuts. If they do this and we use

2 Now the fact that we live on an island comes in handy as we are surrounded by water. However it is salt water so we cant drink it. Rain water would be one other way for Pirate island to get water but we would face the challenge of catching the water. So we must nd a different way to obtain the water we need to survive, and if we dont then the citizens of pirate island will die.

that mountainous land. Even in the plains and valleys, the land was rocky and water was scarce (Frey 249). So in order to get them, we must either throw rocks at them and or climb up to get them. An-
In order to obtain the food we need to survive we must scavenge the island for bananas and coconuts. Getting bananas would be fairly easy but coconuts might be a challenge if they are high up in the trees. We share some of the same problems that Greeks who lived in mountainous lands , farming wasnt easy in
other problem would be getting sh for protein. It would be hard to catch the sh since we do not have shing rods so we would have to catch the sh with our own hands.
In order to obtain the water we need to survive, we need to have a steady reliable

source of drinkable water. Since we are on a island that might be a bit challenging like it was for the Arabs The hot, dry desert environment is very harsh (Frey 77). but with less storms. There are some ways to get it. We could drink the coconut juice we get from coconuts, or we could create some sort of bowl with leaves to catch rain water in and then we could drink that, but it doesn't always rain on tropical islands.

Part I - Lessons on Democracy In order to chose the type of government on pirate island we have to see what
9
things we can learn from past forms of government. Lets start with Athens. What they went by is that a major major-

cus laws. On Frey 261 it states, All men over the age of 18 who were born in Athens where athenian citizens. However, women and slaves did not have a voice over the laws. The large group of male citizens that were allowed speak in it was called the assembly. They also had the Council of 500 that were selected to run the day-to-day affairs of the city-state.
ity of the citizens deserves equal rights and government. In ancient Athens all Athenian citizens had the right to diss-
Something that I learned from Sparta was that they had a Council of Elders. The council of elders would make the laws for

Sparta, in consisted of 2 kings and 28 Spartan citizens how ever you did have to pass a few exceptions Frey 265 To be elected to the Council of Elders, men had to be at least 60 years old and from a noble family.. Sparta's government was a oligarch, a oligarchy is when a group of people shared power. Sparta surprisingly was not a tyranny even though they where known for there violence, and they gave women more rights then any other city state.
In Rome there where patricians which were the wealthy people. The plebeians were the poor citizens that made up 95% of the population of Rome. Rome was a democracy for a while, but when Julius Caesar was elected king they became a tyrant of sorts. The only people that had power were the patricians until the Council of Plebs. The Council of Plebs could pass and reject laws This was called veto power. They got this after the Conict of Orders. The conict happened when all the plebeians went on a revolt until they

got more rights, which were granted to them. Even so, they still were thought of as lower than the patricians.
one that harms citizens of Pirate Island they shall be publicly executed. This relates to
Part II - Code Of Law The laws of pirate island relate to Hammurabis code & the 12 tables. One way of showing this is in law I Any

The laws of Pirate Island are: I. If any one that harms citizens of Pirate Island they shall be publicly exsicuted. II. Every pirate that partakes in a mission shall be paid according to there performance.
12
III. Citizens shall vote on topics such as Laws, Kings, and if they have any problems with they way things are going on Type to enter text Pirate Island. IV. Every one has the right to vote except slaves and travelers. V. If some one is accused of committing a crime they shall be given a chance to prove them selfs not guilty. If they are guilty then they have done to them what they did to the accuser. Part III - Political Leadership Lessons From Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar was a good inspiration
to the rulers of Pirate Island. Hes taught us that we need to help not only the poor but also the rich because they hold more power. Learning this we will share some power with the richer citizens and distract the poor citizens by letting them watch Colosseum battles for free just like Julius did (Julius Cesaers Rule as Dictarot). We will also take good care of our citizens giving them the utilities they need to survive. Some of the power we shall grant the weather citizens consists

Bet-
rate Island shall also be able to get jobs if they qualify, this was also learned by Julius because he gave the less wealthy citizens more jobs. Julius made plenty of mistakes which is good for us because we can learn from them. So the success of Pirate Island is all because of Julius Caesar, may he rest in peace. Part IV - Political Leadership Lessons From Augustus Caesar

now we have to see what we can learn from his adopted son, Augustus. Augus-
tus lost his father at a very young age and then lost his step father too and because of this he made plenty of laws about children. One of those laws is that you cant inherit something unless you have children. His main goal was not to be killed like his step father was so he had to appeal to his citizens and one way he did this is he restored 82 religious temples as his father built statues of himself in religious temples.

the people have a voice and that they are part of the decisions that will be made and laws that will be passed. But we also have to make sure that they dont have to much power because there are always going to be some bad eggs. We will have absolutely no crime on Pirate Island (however there will be crime when pirating ships of course.) but the main reason for crime in rome was unemployment, there for we will make sure that every one is payed equally and fairly(Decline of The Western Roman Empire). Then we need

Belief Systems

things then when you die you will go to heaven where all is happy and peaceful, but if you bad you will go to hell where you will be torchered for your sins. So naturally people who follow in a religion with similar beliefs christianity will live out their lives better. Pirate island will make sure that there will be a good religion that molds our civilization into one with more moral rights. ! In order to further understand the im-
ion, how would people act? what would they do when they meet a dilemma? Religion helps give people morals but then again those morals are not again always right. But most of the time beliefs help humans cope through life, giving them answers to certain questions that could not be answered without beliefs, like where do we come from and what happens to us when we die? Even if these belief systems are wrong they still help us, like in Christianity they say that if you do good

Roger Smith, a skillful swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy is screaming desperately for help. Smith recognizes that there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps in to save the boy; he could easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy's cries. "Why should I inconvenience my20
would most deantly save the drowning young boy. This is because hindus believe in karma which means when you do good things in your current life, that you will be rewarded by being re-born into a better class than before, but if you do wrong things then you will be punished by being re-born into a worse and lower class. So by saving the boy, the good
karma would help him get into a better life.! ! If Roger Smith was a Buddhist, he
And nally if Roger Smith was a Con-
fucianist he would once again save the boy drowning, because the purpose of a Confucianists life is too do there role in society honorably which in Rodger Smiths case is swimming. And to save any one from drowning would be very honorable and require some one who can swim. Also Confucianists practice Honesty, politeness, propriety, humaneness, perform correct role in society, loyalty to family, nation (http://www.religionfacts.com/ big_religion_chart.htm)
would also save the boy. A good Buddhist would never harm a life form and if you have the power to save someone and you chose to ignore them, then that is technically harming them. They also believe in the eight fold path which states Promote good actions and prevent evil actions. ( Frey, 159)And last time i checked letting a child die was an evil action

strong physically, mentally, and emotionally. We need them to be strong for pirating ships. In battle you must block out all distractions and focus on the current task. In order to train our pirates to live up to our expectations we will train them at a young age in school and after you graduate if you still wish to be a true pirate you

thing else crazy like that. Our second belief relates to the religion of Islam who have plenty of strict rules that they must follow. (The fourth [out of ve] pillar of faith is siyam, or fasting ( going with out food )) 3 Courage, Syarvy ! Without courage a pirate is nothing,
we can be a bit destructive. If there was no control in battles then we might do more harm to our selfs then the enemy. We will practice this by having plenty of strict drills and hard training in the military camps. But control is not only for the military its also for the every day pirate, weather their children, at work, or maybe if a ght breaks on their street or some23
you must be able charge into a deadly battle and show no fear in doing so to be a true pirate. Fear is an obstacle in the race to victory. In order to practice this we will have plenty of dangerous tasks to accom-
plish in the military. These tasks consist of bungee jumping, being shot at while running, and being forced under water. This belief relates to christianity because when rome was unpleased and had christens killed in horrible ways but they sang prays while dyeing (Christians won new admirers by facing death bravely, even singing hymns as lions or bears tore them apart).
