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.

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 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 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. An6

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 things we can learn from past forms of

government. Lets start with Athens. What they went by is that a major majority of the citizens deserves equal rights and government. In ancient Athens all

Athenian citizens had the right to disscus 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.

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.

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

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.

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. III. Citizens shall vote on topics such as Laws, Kings, and if they have any problems with they way things are going on 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

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 one that harms citizens of Pirate Island they shall be publicly executed. This relates to

power we shall grant the weather citizens consists of, Better jobs such as Politicians, Judge, Lawyer, and rarely Governor. The children of Pirate 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.

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 amphitheater battles for free just like Julius did. We will also take good care of our citizens giving them the utilities they need to survive. Some of the
