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

The scent of sweet grass overpowered the moldy water smell in the air. The smell of the wild pig we caught hangs in the air making my mouth water, but the ash of the fire comes through the breeze, tickling my nose and making me cough. As I open my eyes, I see the creek producing fresh water with frogs jumping around as if they were trying to touch the sky. The grass sways in the light breeze on the hills where the wild pigs and yaks graze. As the sun comes up, the shadows of the hills cover the field like a blanket. Then the grey clouds start rolling in, making the sun disappear like a game of peeka- boo. I can feel the soft breeze, as if a storm is coming. It sends shivers up my spine, but the warmth of the fire
heats up my whole body. The smoke raises and comes toward me, hurting my eyes and making me cough wildly. I can feel my lips crack and blood comes through making my lips sting as I lick them. My stomach growls like an angry bear telling me to get some food. My stomach reminds me about the wild pig we caught; it was juicy on the inside and a bit crispy on the outside, leaving a burnt wood taste in my mouth. I pour the boiling, metallic tasting water into my mouth burning my tongue and throat. I can hear the baby yaks calling their mother. The fire crackles, telling the animals to back away or they will be breakfast. The stream makes a rushing water sound and the frogs croak in delight telling me I am going to get wet

if I stand there. I look back at my companions and hear them snoring with the buzzing flies. Both the flies and my companions make it very hard to concentrate. The birds start singing, telling everyone its time to wake up. Then the rain starts pouring in, making everything quiet except the pattering of the raindrops and my snoring companions.

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

Stellda face is achieving a basic food and water supply include the following:

Another challenge in making a successful civiliza-
tion in the plains is water. Water is a main priority for our civilization. We share our water supply with animals, which could lead to us getting diseases. During the seasons, the water could flood destroying our crops, making the soil unsuitable for farming. Our water source could be unreliable and dry up leaving Us with nothing. If we dont have a reliable water source, we will dehydrate and soon perish, leaving our civilization to perish as well.
ing civilization. The first step in making a successful civilization is food. Firstly, the plains do not supply rich soil for farming crops. Another problem is that our civilization has insects, animals and temperatures that could threaten our crops. Also, we would have to watch for predators so they dont eat our food supply. If we do not have the ability to farm we would have to hunt animals and could run out of resources. This could lead us to our death and we would never make a successful civilization.

Part II - Proposed Solution

A modification is when humans make physical changes to their environment in order to survive. In Stellda we would use an irrigation system to send water to our fields. We will build a fence to keep domesticated animals like sheep, buffalo, and wild pigs contained. In our civilization, we would use our sheep and buffalo for clothes, milk, and dairy products. Modifications are important to make improvements on a civilization and to hopefully thrive. Stellda will perish if we do not make any modifications to our environment.
1.
A thriving civilization makes modifications to its land
in response to what it needs. Stellda is a difficult region to farm in, similar to that of the Mesopotamians, where farming was challenging too, Farming wasnt easy in that mountainous land. Even in the plains and valleys, the land was rocky and water was scarce(Frey 249) In order to have a reliable food source we will need to domesticate animals such as sheep, buffalos, and wild pigs. We will need to build a fence to contain our domesticated animals so they do not escape. If we do not modify our land to suit our needs, we will perish.
2.
Water is our main priority for surviving in the wilder-
ness. In the plains we would have to boil the water, so
7
we dont get sick with diseases. Similar to the Mesopotamians we have an unreliable water source and will have to build a dam so we will have extra water to store for the upcoming seasons, They constructed dams along the river to block the water and force it to collect in pools they had built (Frey 36). In comparison to the Sumerian farmers, we will have to build an irrigation system to send water to our fields, Sumerians farmers began to create irrigation system to provide water for their fields (Frey 36). If we dont have a reliable water source to suit our needs, our civilization will perish along with us.

Part I - Lessons on Democracy

The government of Athens, Sparta, and Rome taught us important lessons on the effectiveness of the different
forms of democracy. The Athenian democracy was composed of laws decided by the Athenian citizens in an Athenian assembly. These laws were frequently changed by the citizens, making this an ineffective form

of government. The Athenians citizens would manipulate one another for personal gain, as shown here: speakers often persuaded citizens to vote unwisely and the assembly usually reversed important decisions (Frey 257). A direct democracy was when all Athenian citizens could vote in the Athenian assembly, which was held every 10 days. 6,000 Athenian citizens attended to debate and vote on laws. Citizens who were required to attend the assembly were men over the age of 18 and born in Athens. Because laws were being changed so frequently, Athens created the Council of 500, which was composed of Athenian citizens 30 years or older. These men were chosen to oversee day-to-day business within the government. This was an improvement because Athenian citizens could vote on laws made by
11
the council of 500, however Spartans had fewer representatives, which was a more efficient form of government. The first form of government in Sparta was called Oligarchy 800 B.C.E 600 B.C.E; Oligarchy is when the wealthy merchants and noble man called Aristocrats ruled together and ignored the lower class citizens demands. This was not a good form of government because many lower classes citizens could not pay their taxes and had to sell their selves into slavery. A Spartan citizen are males who are 28 years or older who had served in the army. The seconded form of government that Sparta had was a Democracy where an Spartan assembly had Spartan citizens who could not debate on is-
sues and could only say yes or no on laws. I thought this was also not a good form of government because people do not have a say. The group of people who had the real power in the Spartan government was the people in the Council of Elders. That was a group of 28 Spartan men and 2 kings who suggested and prepared laws. This was a more efficient form of government because there were less people to pick. In Rome there were Etruscan kings who ruled last over Rome before the patricians and plebeians began to form the Roman republic. I think this was not a good form of government because the patricians wanted more power and overthrow the king. Then Rome had a form of government called an oligarchy, where the patri-
cians the wealthy, upper class landowning citizens who ruled together and ignored the plebeians who were lower class citizens demands. This led to the conflict of orders where plebeians struggled and demanded more political rights for themselves. This was a bad form of government because this led to many conflicts. After the Romans had a form of government called the Roman republic. The Romans had an assembly called the Citizens Assembly that were made up of all roman male citizens; passed laws that affected Patricians and plebeians; elected consuls, members of the Senate, and tribunes of the plebs. In the assemblies they had a senate and consuls, which were 300 men who ran the government in Rome and 2 leaders of the Senate, who commanded the army and ran day-to-day affairs of Rome. The Plebeians
12
70:56:81:af:dd:db
also had rights like the patricians such as the Council of Plebs, which were made up of elected Plebeians; pass laws that affected only the plebeians and the Tribunes of the plebs who elected Plebeian officials who represented plebeians interest in the Senate. They also had the Twelve Tables that were codes of law that was written down to ensure that Patricians no longer could changed the laws at their will. I think this was a form of government that was improving to becoming successful. They should have made equal rights for both the patricians and plebeians because I believe it was not fair for the wealthy class to have more beneficial laws made for them and the plebeians had little rights to make laws that are suitable for them. Part II - Code of law Murders, thieves, and many others can threaten our civilization. If we do not have a form of laws for our civilization, it will turn into chaos. Murderers will murder anyone they like and thieves will steal, leaving people empty handed. Not everyone has equal rights like women and children. From earlier forms of written laws, the king of Hammurabi made written laws in 1790 to 1750BCE, Mesopotamia to keep his people in order. Also the Romans had a code of law in 509 BCE called the twelve tables of Rome. This helped people to maintain order and to be safe. It is written that all people shall follow these laws:
13
I.
If caught stealing you shall go to court to justify your
V.
You must have a special form signed by the govern-
punishment. If the object you have stolen is valuable to Stellda, then your hand shall be cut off. II. If you murdered someone you shall go to court to
ment to enter or leave the city, but if you did not get the special form signed then you will be banished. To compare our laws that our civilization has created to Hammurabis Code or the laws found within the Twelve Tables of Rome. Some of our laws compare to Hammurabis Code because Hammurabis Code had many laws that where harsh and some limbs where taken off. One law in our civilization is a bit harsh where if you are caught stealing something valuable then your hands shall be caught off. Another comparison to the code of Hammurabi is many punishments in our civilization include being put to death. A comparison between the twelve tables of Rome and our civilization laws are
prove weather you are guilty or not, if proven guilty then you shall be put to death. III. Everyone must have equal rights.
IV. Anyone who wants to buy a weapon must go to the government and get an okay, but if you buy a weapon without an okay from the government then they must be join the military.

where laws where you have to go to court. Another comparison is laws for inequality. The romans fought for many years to equal rights and in our civilization we want all our citizens have equal rights no matter if they are slaves, children, lower and higher-class citizens. Part III - Political Leadership Lesson from Julius Caesar Important lessons that can be learned from Julius Caesars dictatorship are to make sure all citizens are content with your rule. In 45 B.C.E, Julius Caesar was made dictatorship for a 10- year period, which made him the most powerful man in the Roman Republic. He wanted all the Roman citizens to be pleased and respected under his rule. To make the plebeians content he made many economic and social improvements. He started to
make new projects such as building roads and buildings, which gave work to thousands of Romans. He stopped extensive use of slavery: 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. (Julius Caesars Rule as Dictator) Julius Caesar gave land to landless peasants and soldiers who fought in with him by making new colonies. He also made the gladiator contests for free to make the plebeians satisfied. Julius Caesar did some things that the roman citizens did not like such as He had his name stamped on coins, had his statue put in the temple and wore royal purple. (Julius Caesars Rule as Dictator) In conclusion Julius Caesar made most of his citizens content.
