I. Origins
A. How will this Utopia come into being? Be very specific about deliberate creation versus accidental creation.

- Basically life has been rough for many people. There needed to be a places were people don't have to worry about there surroundings. This is where i got the idea of creating a utopia the perfet world just the way i wanted it. There needed to be such a place where there are no worries among families.

B. What is the time line for the creation and development of this Utopia? If you began building tomorrow, where will your society be in 5 years? In 50 years? In 500 years?

- In Five years everyone would be getting to know eachother more and more. In 50 years it would turn into a huge family where everyone knows everyone and they all feel comfortable around eachother. In 500 years everything would be perfect. Families would have jids that were friends with everyone else. If you needed anything there was alwyas someone there. Life would just be wonderful.

C. How do people find out about your Utopia? Do people accidentally stumble across it through exploration? Is a member of the society telling the story of the utopia?

- Well i want it to be a place were people want to be and have to search for it. I don't want it to be a huge open place where anyone can go. There needs to be saome want in the whole situation to make this process sucessful. I want to make sure each person wants to live in a perfect world where nothing van go wrong.

II. Population and Demographics
A. Please indicate the projected population statistics here: Year one: number of women 50, men_50, children50 Year fifty: number of women_100, men_100, children_100 Year five hundred: number of women_150, men_150, children_150

B. Does this Utopia have specific criteria for entry? If so, please list the criteria here. (Do not forget to list language(s) spoken.) If not, please proceed to the next section.

- The person should really want to be there and is willing to enter a world where everything is perfect. There needs to be no hesitation on if this would be the right place for these people. They should understand english and atleast know a little about society and govornment.

C. What are the specific skills, if any, possessed by the first generation of citizens in this Utopia?

- There can be any skill. Each person should be different and unique in there own specific way. No to people should be alike. Life would be so boring if we were al the same and all the same interests. That's what makes life interesting what people do on there spare time and how they spend there time with there family. They should also be interested in learning what other people do so they can enrich there life with more fun and exciting activities.

D. How does your Utopia deal with the concept of race, especially in its incecption (beginning)? Does it have only one race? Does it allow mixed race bonds to be formed?

- I think race doesn't matter in this situation. God made each of use in a unique way and just becasue we may be African American or spanish it doesn't matter there is no difference. We are still people and life wouldn't be the same if we were all white or just all black. Thats what makes life so interesting. Having different race would create people to learn more about other ways to live other than one specific way.Everyone should like everyone of different color and that would be something that i would take into consideration when having these people in my community.

Access to education - I will provide a elementary school for kindergarden through 5th grade. middle chool fro 6 - 8th grades and a high school for 9 - 12 graders.
