an ancient Greek style micronation to the likes of ancient Athens or Delphi, wit
h environmentally friendly materials and run on green energy.
January 29, 2016
Chloropolis, a modern-day ancient Greek style micronation, simi
lar to Delphi, ancient Athens, or Olympia, is now the subject of a crowdfunding
campaign on Indiegogo. The concept is to create a utopian city-state which may b
e located on a parcel of land or an island. Opportunities for people include a v
acation spot or permanent place to live, while virtual citizens will be able to
enjoy the benefits without traveling.
The concept began with an interest in Greek philosophers, books, works, and cult
ure and the idea of what living in those times was like, with access to modern t
echnology. Two main phases make up the project.
* Phase I: Crowdfunding will provide the resources to build a community in real
life and the virtual world, purchase land or an island, and construct a few buil
dings. From this base, other initiatives will help the team work towards its goa
ls.
* Phase II: A vibrant city center will be built. Elements will include a Greek-s
tyle Senate plus temples, a theatre, marketplace, and arena. The center will be
surrounded by houses, schools, farms, stables, and more, with an Acropolis overl
ooking the city from a hill or cliff. Everything will be built with environmenta
lly friendly materials and run on renewable, green energy.
Other Greek Elements
While run on renewable energy, Chloropolis will feature various other aspects of
a Greek city, making it as realistic as possible.
* Temple Square: Two big temples, at a minimum, will be placed in Chloropolis, i
ncluding one for a Patron God and one for financial contributors. Smaller ones w
ill be spread out through the city as well. If one contributes over a certain le
vel, they may get a statue which will go in the temple for campaign backers.
* Olympics: To be held every two years, Olympic games will enable citizens to co
mplete against one another in various categories. They will have the opportunity
to compete against other nations for championships and medals. These games will
be modeled on the historic Greek games except competitors will have appropriate
sports attire.
* Academy: An education building will feature guest speakers in many subjects, i
ncluding science, astronomy, and theology. A course in traditional Greek philoso
phy will be provided as well.
A Living Experience
A democracy will be run in this Greek-style micronation. Citizens will vote on a
flag, members of the Senate, and method of currency. The focus will be on commu
nity and also green living. One of the aspects of Chloropolis will be research o
n renewable energy and green practices.
