Introduction
This image shows the place where the civilization of Sparkerton will survive and thrive

Living in an oasis is hard but on one of the dunes you would see sand for miles. If your skin were not covered up it would be cooked like bacon; at night you freeze like an ice cube. If you lay in bed awake you would hear the swaying brush and the crickets and other bugs. You wake and are

hungry, you could eat cocoare just a few. While you eat you would smell are the hot air rising off the sand and the fresh camel poo. You would see and hear the birds chirping in the big blue sky. Standing in the water knee deep, some sh would nibble at your toes.

CHAPTER 1
Modifications
Since, however, the reduced surplus value is to be distributed among them in like manner, the modification of their respective parts in the production of surplus value must find expression in a modification of the prices. Rudolf Hiferding

SECTION 1
Human Changes to the Land

Part 1 - Analysis of the Problem The rst step in a successful civilization is to secure basic human needs such as
4
food and water. Due to its geography, the major challenges the civilization of Sparkerton faces in achieving a basic
food and water supply include the following: Part I. An oasis may seem like a paradise but its not. Since we dont have much dirt, we cant grow crops for food. As you can see we only have sand. We also dont have many seeds for crops even if we had dirt. Plus we dont have many edible animals. If we dont deal with these problems our civilization would collapse and so would the people. In an oasis you cant rely on
5
rain for drinking water because you would only get about 2-4 inches a year. The water thats in the river is full of bacteria and germs that could make you sick. We have no natural water lter. I wonder how the plants are still living in this hot, dry place. We worry about all of the water evaporating, and water is a necessary thing for survival. Part II. Modication means to make small changes to an environment to t their needs. Like how the Mesopotami-
ans made irrigation systems so they could get water from outside the wall, Gradually, villages came to depend on each other to build and maintain their complex irrigation system (Frey 37). Modications could help our civilization because it would make things better for our city of Sparkerton. Since our food supply is not very large, we rely on trading with other cities and towns. Since we have surplus amount of coconuts, water and dates we trade
6
them for other things like wood, tools, seeds and dirt just like the Arabs. Realizing they could grow crops at the oases, some nomads gave up their wandering lifestyle to become sedentary (Frey 78). We will have fresh veggies and wonderful fruits for our meals and to feed our camels. This way our city can survive and thrive to its full potential. Our water is not the cleanest you can nd but we found a way to lter it so it is drinkable. We made a water lter out
of a coconut shell. We drilled small holes in the bottom and pored sand in it. Then when you pour water in it all of the gross stuff stays in the sand. From the bottom comes fresh, clean, water. It is very refreshing on a hot, no a normal day in the desert. We also made irrigation systems so we can get water over the grass and to our crops. Sumerian farmers began to create irrigation systems to provide water (Frey 36).

CHAPTER 2
Law and Government
Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. Benjamin Franklin

Maintaining Civil Order

Part I - Lessons on Democracy There were many different types of government in ancient times. Some of them
9
are oligarchy, tyranny, monarchy and democracies. A monarchy is where one king ruled a civilization and the son in-
herited the throne (overthrown by the aristocrats). An oligarchy is a couple of aristocrats (wealthy people or patricians) that rule over Rome (Spartans), sadly the rich get richer and the poor get poorer (overthrown by the plebeians or poor people). A tyranny is where a tyrant rules by force. A direct democracy is where everyone gets a say (Athens). A representative democracy is where one person represents a community (USA). Unlike Athens, the US is a representa-
tive democracy. In this type of government, people vote for representative who decide issues in their name. We can learn from the Athenian government that women, slaves, and children couldnt vote so if I created my own laws I would make it so everyone could vote (10 and up) we also learned that the Athenian assembly was a good idea because they let everyone speak. The assembly debated and voted on laws proposed by the council. Every citizen

had the right to speak at the assembly meetings Frey, 261. We can learn from the Spartan government that the Council of Elders was a mediocre idea because you know the saying the old and wise. Well sometimes their memory is not that great. So they may forget if they agreed on one law and the next day they changed their mind. Instead I would have a small group of elected people that would create the laws. Also they would put out
11
the laws to the citizens, that the citizens would vote or veto. Sparta also had an assembly. They voted on the laws that were suggested by the Council of Elders. Unlike the assembly in Athens, it did not debate issues. Members of the assembly could only vote yes or no on laws suggested by the Council of Elders.
Part II - Code of Laws All cities have laws for a reason, so crime and chaos doesnt run amuck. Some of the things that could happen are that people could murder others or overthrow. There for towns need laws to keep things under control. In the civilization of Sparkerton I would have ve main laws: I.! Anyone caught committing a crime will go to court word judge and the jury will decide on a punishment. (This is so
12
criminals dont go running amok or if they were not guilty they would be set free.) II.! II. Anyone with education is eligible for better job and must get paid $13 an hour. (The system smarter people dont go to waste and the dumber people at least have a job but dont get paid as much because they were too lazy to go to school.) III. Husband or wife can declare di-
vorce. All possessions will be
equally divided, and the child will have a choice a parent or will be going week to week say 50% so one parent gets him one week and the other parent get the child the other week. (This is so no child gets left behind and nobody freaks out over possessions.) IV. Anyone who is sick or close to death shall be put into a home till better or if death then shall be buried in the nearest cemetery. (This is because no one else should be sick because then
13
they could miss work or school and they wont get the right education or knowledge.) V. Everyone has equal rights, unless a criminal. ! With the laws above we would have
a well-balanced and fair civilization. If we compared our laws to the pasts like Hammurabis Code and the Twelve Tables we would see major differences. Like how the Code and tables gave women barely any rights. In the city of
Sparkerton Women are appreciated, where is in the times of Hammurabis code and the 12 tables women were treated kind of like slaves. Or in the time of the 12 tables children were killed of that a severe deformity so instead, Sparkerton would send it to a place where they can learn with all of his other peers.
Part III - Political Leadership Lessons from Julius Caesar After reading about Julius Caesars reign there are many lessons to be learned. The things we can learn from the choices he made are, he made sure that all citizens had jobs. He also started projects for the poor to make new roads and public buildings which will help maintain jobs and earn money. In the city of Sparkerton we would make sure everyone has a job and got paid the

same so there was no ghts or jealousy. Julius Ceasar also let people who couldnt afford to watch gladiator shows watch this will help keep the less fortunate happy in our civilization. He also reduced slavery this will help keep citizens happy. He let people that came from Sicily, Spain, and Gaul become Roman citizens.
