Introduction
This is the image depicts the setting where Rarlj will settle, grow, and thrive.

Introduction I can see the pine trees covered in snow all over the land like grass in your front yard coming out of the ground. There also is a very strong smell of pine. Also there are a small amount of reeds starting to poke out of the snow like daisies coming out of the dirt during spring. As I look around I start to hear the sound of an avalanche from far away as well as the sound of crickets from a nearby bush. I also hear the sound of rapid rushing water through a nearby river and the sharp sound of the wind howling like a hungry wolf. While I start to walk around to get

a better view, I felt the blistering pain of the cold ground that is covered in snow and sharp rocks. I also start to taste blood coming from my lip because its so chapped.

Part I - Analysis of the Problem The first 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 Rarlj faces in achieving a ba-
4
sic food and water supply include the following: 1. There are many problems with food in the mountains. The first problem is that the air is too thin so that we cant grow any sort of wheat or plants to make bread. Even if we tried to plant something the wind would just blow the plants away and there isnt enough good dirt or soil in the area. Like Frey remarks that even the Mayans had trouble farming in the mountains, valleys, and plains because the area was all rocky. Eventually the plants would just get flooded out when the snow melts. Even if we tried to hunt near
5
our area there would not be many animals because not that many animals can survive this high up in the mountains. Also if there even were animals near us we would have to worry about predators 2. Another challenge of having to survive in the mountains is that the water supply could get seriously frozen if it gets too cold. Then we would have to thaw it out which would be very hard given the wind and cold climate. Another challenge is that if the water washed away down the hill, we would have to wait until it snowed again. Also if it wasnt frozen, but just in a river or another body
of water, we would have to somehow clear the snow of bugs, animal droppings, and diseases. If we didnt, it would be dangerous if we just left it alone unclean. We would also have to melt the water in order to drink it.
like a rock or something so that we will be able to hit our targets from a distance. Doing this will enable us to not lose a rare chance at meat by scaring our prey away. We will also have to create fire without extinguishing it, so that we can cook our meat and boil water. Another thing that might help us in farming is that like
Part II - Proposed Solutions In order for our civilization to survive we will have to modify the land so that we can obtain the necessary recourses. To fix our food problem, we need to advance our weapons somehow by possibly being able to shoot or sling something
Frey said is that the Greeks had to deal with tall mountains so they created man made earth like platforms or terraces to create flat land to farm. Something that will help us with our water problem is that we have to something along the lines of what Frey said about the Mesopotamians,
6
which we have to make a dam like structure to block rivers and force the water to a pool that they created. Another thing we have to do is once we secure our water we have to create a wall or fence around it and then put a roof over it so that no animals can drink from it and so that snow does not get in our water and pollute it. We also have to watch our water supply and check the perimeter so that no underground animals like moles or ground hogs to crawl into our water supply area. We also dont want anthills and beehives to form near our water supply area either because it could either and poison it or
harm our people that are just getting water.

Part I - Lessons o Democracy Many civilizations had the trouble of going through the different kinds of govern-
ment. But some mistakes that happened during these changes of government would be mistakes that we dont want to make again. An example of a failure is

the ones that ancient Athenss made with their direct democracy. The some mistakes were that since they had a direct democracy they had to meet every ten days. Instead we could meet about every 4-5 weeks at most. Also we could use the only citizens may vote because we dont want foreigners changing how our civilization works. We also could use their assembly of 6,000 so we get a good estimate of what the citizens of Rarlj want. Like what Frey remarks on page 161 The names of all citizens 30 years of age or older were collected, and 500 of those names were chosen we should use this because we
would need to have a control group to decide between good laws and bad laws. Now moving onto Sparta what we might want to use is their council of elders, but maybe without the two kings so we can have our control group have experience of what has gone right and what has gone wrong. Also our assembly of would still only vote yes or no for the laws. But something we might not want to use is that their assembly had to be people with experience in the army our assembly wont have to they would just have to be adults 30 or older.
10
Now onto Rome, some things we might want to use from Romes democracy is the twelve tables. We would want to use the twelve tables because we would want our laws to be shown but maybe instead of a table we might want to post them on a wall. Another thing that we should use are tribunes because we want people to represent both the rich and the poor. These tribunes would probably go to join our council of elders. Our council would also be able to veto laws incase they were to outrages or only benefited one party and not the other. And that is what we would use
from these three governments to add to our own. Part II - Code of Law But once we have messed around with our government we must know how to keep our civilization in line. We must keep these threats out of our society to maintain order. If we do not theft would breakout, criminals would go on massive crime streaks, riots would erupt in the streets, we would need to create rules so these catastrophes from happening. But some serious threats would be the possibility of rioters, the chance of being invaded. We
11
would be able to stop this if we created a code of laws. Our code of laws would be If you mean to murder someone you will die the same way that they murdered If caught in the act of theft you must return the item to the previous owner and spend the amount of time in jail equal to the value of the item If you are caught breaking the rules you must face public punishment be being made an example. If you are caught vandalizing you must be mocked and laughed at in public.
If you harm the king/possessions of the king you will be put to death. These laws would help keep our civilization from becoming a city of crime and metropolis of failures We can do so if we follow similar rules to Hammurabis Code. Part II - Political Leadership Lessons from Julius Caesar Something important that can be learned from Julius Caesar being the leader of Rome is that if you want your civilization to function, you need citizens that actually want to live there.The way to keep
12
citizens in your civilization is to keep them happy, and thats exactly what Julius Caesar did. There are many reason why you should keep your civilization happy. One of the reasons is that if your civilization is happy, they wont riot. Riots cause a lot of problems, one being that they might not listen to their leader, another might be that they start defacing or destroying important property causing lots of damage thus causing you to spend lots of money. Another thing is if you keep the civilians happy, they will be more grateful to live in your civilization and not someone else's. Doing this will also give the leader
respect causing the citizens to trust your decisions more. To keep the people happy, he did things for the plebeians such as making everyone under the control of Rome an official citizen. He halted the extensive use of slavery in rural areas and provided jobs for poor people by passing a measure requiring that a third of the ranch laborers be Roman citizens. This is another thing that Julius Caesar did to ensure the happiness of Rome. But some things Julius did were not as appreciated, like wearing royal purple and red sandals. But in all, Caesar was always looking out and making sure the civilization
13
of Rome was happy. Many things can be learned from Julius Caesars ruling Rome, but one key thing that every civilization should know is that they have to keep their citizens happy.
