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

Introduction A sea of white surrounds me with millions of mountains scattered mile after mile. I can see the sun peeking over the horizon like a hermit crab shyly peeking out of its shell. It is almost like the sun is playing a game of peekaboo with me. Finally, it completely exposes itself over the mountains sending radiant beams of gold and yellow throughout the world. The crisp smell of pine makes me feel warm and toasty, even though I am in the most barren climate. There is a crisp frosty taste spreading throughout my lips sending an icy, dry avor to my mouth. I can feel the soft snow melting through my ngertips, tingling my
hands like sharp needles. The frosty surface is rough and sends chills down my spine. All around me are the sounds of animals scrambling around trying to nd food to store for winter. I hear a huge gust of howling wind rupturing throughout the many canyons and mountains. This sound echoes on and on in my head. To think, I am in one of the most deserted places but yet I can really capture the true beauty. This treacherous environment is going to make it nearly impossible to thrive. I can nally calm myself down to the sounds of the crackling re. POP POP, POP, these are the noises of sparks ying all around. In the distance there are faint

noises of howling wolves scrounging around the snow. It might look like a snowy wonderland, but it is nowhere near that.

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 of the civilization Chillapi faces in achieving a basic food and water supply include the following:
5
1. The snowy mountains are an incredibly challenging environment to create a successful civilization. First off, there is minimal space for farming crops. In addition to that, there is absolutely no soil for growing food. The ground is hardened and covered in a sheet of ice making it nearly impossible to reach soil. Also there are harsh weather conditions that could easily result in a severe food shortage. Even though there are many animals to hunt, it is challenging to craft the right tools to hunt with. If we are lucky and are able to catch an animal, we also have to face the challenging process of cleaning and preparing the animal. If there ever happens to be a shortage
of natural resources, such as animals and plants, people would starve and the society would collapse. 2. Another challenge of living in the snowy mountains is having a clean, constant water supply. To have a regular supply of water every day to drink, we have to go through some very time consuming tasks. This is hard because even though loads and loads of snow surround us, we have to be able to create a re in order to melt the snow into hygienic water. Once we have succeeded in melting the snow into water, another challenge that we face is where do we store the water? Chillapi must nd a way to

store all this water or else our population will start to fade and fade away.
Part II- Proposed Solutions For a civilization to ourish they have to be able to modify the physical environment, in order to create a healthy growing civilization. In this situation food and water is essential in a thriving community. An example of a modication is, earth steps. If a farmer had many mountains and no space to grow crops, they might use this technique to help them thrive. This could be helpful because it exposes the farmer to more space for farming. Chillapi has to come up with many modications to our farming. We have decided to plant crops that can survive in the winter such as, melons, beats, and Brussel sprouts. These foods

are able to withstand the harsh weather conditions in this environment. All of these modications have to be done using resources from the environment around us. Many modications are essential to mold Chillapi into the balanced civilization needed to survive 1. If we are going to be a growing civilization we need to come up with solutions for nding and gathering food. One example is to melt all of the snow in one area to create more land for crops. In the process we might even discover some soil hidden under a think blanket of snow. Similar to the Arabs and the Greeks, farming wasnt easy in that mountainous land. Even in the plains and
8
valleys, the land was rocky and water was scarce (Frey 249). Another solution is to hunt in large chunks, meaning that we stock up on food so that if there ever happened to be a shortage of natural belongings we would already be prepared. Farmers in the mountains relied on many different crops. They grew fruits, like melons and pomegranates (Frey 79). Just like the Greeks we have to plant crops that can survive the weather conditions the world throws at us in this unreliable environment. One last solution could be to take advantage of the different animals in the mountains and domesticate them to help us hunt. The fol-
lowing example shows how we use techniques similar to the Arabs, Camels could survive for days without water, eat almost anything, and carry heavy loads for long distances (Frey 77). These resolutions will help Chillapi become a populated civilization. 2. Water is also another required component needed in order to survive in this snowy region. These are just some examples of the many solutions that we thought of to keep us from going into a water shortage. One solution would be to, use wood from tress and carve them into bowls to store our water. This would provide us with an abundance of water. Which results in not having
9
to go through the time consuming process of melting the water and cleaning the water every day. Chillapi would be packed with tons of water, which leads to a thriving civilization.

Part I- Lessons on Democracy

The civilization of Athens has taught the modern day Americans many different lessons
about developing a stable system of government. Athens was one of the rst civilizations to develop a type of government where most people had a say. This particular type of government is
11
Morse, Amanda
70:56:81:af:f0:2f
direct democracy. Every 10 days the Athenian Assembly would meet to discuss laws with the citizens of Athens. The assembly met on a hill every 10 days. (Frey 261) They did this so that they could avoid major conict rupturing throughout the citizens. Athens made many great decisions in their government that anyone could benet from, such as creating a form of government where most of the society could vote. Ancient Sparta used Oligarchy as their form of government. Oligarchy was where a small group of wealthy people ruled over all of the Spartan citizens. This form of government denitely had its aws and it was far from perfect.
12
Many citizens did not get a say in the process of law making. Therefore it was a very unfair way to rule a civilization. The Council of Elders was composed of 2 kings and 28 Spartan men 18 years or older. It ran as followed, the 2 kings created the laws and the 28 Spartan men debated whether they would become laws or not. The council of Elders held the real power in Sparta. It prepared laws for the assembly to vote on, and it had the power to stop any laws passed by the Assemble that the council members didnt like. (Frey 265) The Spartan assembly was where citizens gathered to have their say on the laws created by the council of Elders.
In ancient Rome they used the form of government known as democracy. Democracy was where all of the citizens got a say in the laws. The plebeians gained veto power after they revolt and left Rome. While the plebeians were revolting, the patricians realized that they really needed the plebeians in their society. The plebeians revolt led to major change in the Roman government. The patricians agreed to let the plebeians elect ofcials called Tribunes of Plebs. (Frey 320) The tribunes spoke and represented the plebeians to the senate and consuls. The plebeians revolt was what started the Conict of Orders. They told the plebeians this and agreed on a fair system of
laws/government that applied to everyone in the society. These laws where written down on tablets called the twelve tables. This way nobody could change the laws to apply to their needs, this made it ofcial and permanent. There are many benets to the system of government used in Athens and there are many disadvantages. For example our civilization needs a form of government where most people get a say, this is democracy. If we ran using democracy, everyone would get to express their opinion on laws resulting in a more stable community.
13
Part II- Code of Law In our civilization there are many threats to order, here are some examples. One, inequality among citizens could be a problem that we face throughout our civilization. Some other problems that we might face are, murdering and stealing. Animal extinction could also very well be a problem. Therefore we have created laws that protect animals for being mistreated. Even though we will try our hardest to protect each and every citizen in our society, there is no control over rebellion. One last problem that we may face is, invaders. We will do every thing we can to prevent
invaders but there is a slight chance that that could happen. It is written that all people shall follow these laws: I. If you abuse or you are caught abusing a liv-
ing thing you will be sent to jail for 5-10 years depending on the incident II. Treat everyone equally or you will be sent to court and your punishment will be decided there III. If you murder anyone intentionally you shall be killed IV. Burglars pay for the damage plus three years in jail
14

V. Bribery should be punished by being sentenced to court VI. Leaders must provide protection for citizens or else their power will be limited Chillapis laws compared to Hammurabis Code are a lot fairer and apply to everyone. For example a lot of the laws on Hammurabis code have to do with revenge, that was not how we wanted to run our civilization. Here is one example, If a man knocks out the teeth of his equal, his teeth shall be knocked out. This law very much revolves around the concept of revenge, which Chillapi believes is an unfair way o run a civilization.
Another example of a realistic law from Hammurabis code is, If anyone nds a runaway male or female slave in the open country and bring them to their masters, the master of slaves must par his two shekels of silver. This is the one of the fairest laws, because it actually makes sense that if a slave runs away than it is the masters fault for not supervising the slave. It also makes sense because the owner of the slaves should denitely pay for the runaway slaves. The twelve tables are a lot more fair then the laws of Hammurabis code. Here is one example of a brutally unfair law, A dreadfully deformed child shall be quickly killed. This is a completely unfair law be-
15
cause it is not the childs fault that he or she was deformed so therefore it should not be killed. Chillapi would never make a law like this one because its viciously cruel and unfair. Part III- Political Leadership of Julius Caesar Julius Caesar has done many things that only applied to the plebeians these decisions made the rich very angry. This leads to the many lessons that we could learn not to do. Julius Cesar made the mistake of only making laws that applied to the poor. The citizens of Rome, especially the rich, were very angry with Julius Caesar. To keep the poor happy, he staged gladiator contests they could watch for free. He halted the extensive
16
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. By limiting the number of slaves estates could employ, poor free people were able to nd more work. He also established Roman colonies by giving land to landless peasants and soldiers who had fought with him. (Political Leadership of Julius Caesar). Therefore we can conclude that in Chillapi our laws will apply to everyone. By doing this we will avoid having to face the problems that Rome had to face with Julius Caesar. Another lesson that we learned from Roman dictator Julius Caesar was to not get that caught
up on being ruler if you are not even king. Julius Caesar made this mistake and the aristocrats in Rome then started to believe that Julius Caesar thought he was king. The aristocrats of Rome and many Senators feared that if Caesar's power continued, the republican government would never be restored and Caesar would hand down his leadership to an heir. (Political Leadership of Julius Caesar) Our civilization Chillapi will avoid this problem by making sure that a ruler does not get to caught up on being king, and if this does happen then we grant a new leader power. Julius Caesar has taught our civilization many things to
learn from. !
