Final version
- 1. Everland Motto: Pax adamo aequus felix felicis libertas (Peace, love, pleasure, equality, fortunate, happiness, liberty)
- 3. Enforcing Laws & Form of Government Police force: enforces laws Political leaders will be elected based on overall votes Only people 18+ years old will be able to vote in these elections

Laws Include: No stealing All children (ages 3-18, unless specially permitted not to) must attend school No killing No littering No drugs allowed (if not prescribed by a certified doctor) No immigrants unless specially accepted (all people wishing to become citizens must apply to the government)
- 6. Currency People in our utopia will pay with money similar to the United States system of currency. The only difference is that our money system will have no coins only paper money and the checking and banking system. We will still have money lending and interest as well.
- 7. Social classes We would like everyone to earn their selves their own individual earnings. This means there will be many different levels on the social class pyramid. However every so often we will tax the wealthiest of our citizens more than usual and use the taxes to improve the life of the poorer to give them another chance in life.
- 8. Resources We will use trees for money not houses or paper. We will have our education based on technology so we do not use paper (trees). We will use bricks and other materials not paper to build houses or any other objects that require wood. We will also plant many plants and environmentally helpful materials. In addition, we will spend some money on filtering the water from the ocean so we may drink some water. This increases drinking water for everyone and this is essential to our lives.
- 9. Taxes/Services We will have taxes for everyone except the poorest part of our economy so we will all have a chance to get to the same spot in our economic system. Taxes will be charged for the amount of water, electricity and gases you use. Taxes will sponsor everything we need. We will provide community composts, curbside recycling/trash collecting system, local police forces, a mailing system, sewage systems, roads, education and medical care.
- 11. Religion In our utopia, there won’t be any established religion Building off of the situation in which people of our society are ethical, and don’t need religion to be ethically motivated Ethical: motivation is based on ideas of right and wrong
- 12. Reasons Wars/violent disagreements are shown to often occur due to religion (when there are multiple religions) The problem with one religion is that it will slowly develop into multiple religions Certain areas of science would develop more fully (in the case of the lack of some possible religious beliefs) (other than no need for motivation to be ethical)
- 13. Disadvantages Religion brings people together Religion can help people get major accomplishments done Religion can encourage people to behave more ethically In our utopian society, people are ethical and don’t require religion This may be accomplished by teaching ethics in schools
- 14. Guidelines For Behavior There will be well known guidelines for being a good person/proper etiquette Will include: recycling, donating to organizations that benefit society, and giving to the poor/less fortunate Also, citizens should know what they are voting for (be knowledgeable)
