Superior Colony - Public Relations

 Lactus Noster Superior Est 

The Superior Colony: Join Us!  

I.  Area: 

We are based out of Lake Superior, with our capital city being Duluth.  Due to our cool lake breeze and latitude of ~47 degrees north, the weather is almost never too hot to function.  With our plethora of lakes, numerous forests, and miles of unoccupied farmland, we have many different opportunities for work and recreation.  

II. Lake: 

Lake Superior, spanning over thirty-thousand square miles, is quite the main attraction.  Through this lake, we have access to ports, which are vital for the transfer of goods.  Not only do we have Lake Superior, but countless other lakes, which provide an abundance of natural resources and opportunities for recreation.  

III. Social Life: 

The majority of our colonists have these three things at the utmost level of importance in their lives: faith, family, and nature.  Many people are either farmers or owners of small businesses.  Children are taught in community schools, or are homeschooled, and might choose a path of higher education at the age of sixteen.  

IV. Government System: 

Our chosen government system is a parliamentary republic.  Feel free to research this on your own, as the author of this letter is not the best articulator of how this system operates.  See examples of Germany and Greece.  We felt it was our best option due to our collective dislike of communism.  

V. Rules: 

Our government has established a short list of rules.  These rules are in place for the well-being of our people, for the good of our land, and for the glory of God: 

1. All colonists are to conduct themselves in a Christ Like manner. 

2. All colonists will respect and comply with Superior Colony and U.S. authorities when their requests are within reason. 

3. All colonists will observe U.S. laws 

4. All offenders of U.S. laws will be fairly dealt with according to the severity of their offense, and all due processes of law will be followed. 

5. All colonists over the age of 18 are allowed to vote and, if they so choose, to leave the colony. 

6. All colonists over the age of 18 will be required to leave the colony if they repeatedly break laws without heeding warnings. 

7. All colonists who wish to return to the colony after leaving for any matter other than felony will be accepted back into the colony provided they agree to follow any rules as well as follow their agreement. 

8. All colonists will use the U.S. monetary and measurement systems in order to keep up clear-cut trading relationships with the United States. 

9. All colonists are free to observe any and all U.S. holidays in an appropriate and considerate fashion. 

10. All colonists will respect the land preserves in the Superior Colony. 

VI. Animal (the most important): 

Our animal is the otter.  Otters are surprisingly common in Lake Superior.  They are intelligent and happy creatures, which we believe reflects our utopian society perfectly.  

We would truly love it if you'd join us at The Superior Colony!
