Rules to Live By (Liberum Terra)

 Rules to Live By (Liberum Terra)

The following are some laws and principles of Liberum Terra, which our people have gladly decided to abide by:

1. Every citizen 16 years of age and older is able to vote on government officials. This ensures that elected individuals represent the wants/interests of the people.

2. No bribery/lobbying. It is wrong to convince someone to take a certain stance or opinion through bribing, because then society is controlled by the most powerful individuals.

3. No murdering. It is unlawful to plan another person’s death.

4. You may not destroy another’s property without their consent. This law protects residents’ personal property.

5. No trespassing. This intrudes on people’s privacy.

6. No kidnapping. It is against the law to hold someone captive against their will.

7. If there is an unsettled argument then a person may go to court. This way an authority can oversee a problem and figure out a just solution.

8. No cheating other people. This is deceptive and, therefore, wrong.

9. Everyone has freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The community is able to express their ideas without fear of retaliation.

10. Treat everyone with respect. Every person is of value, so everyone should be respected.

11. Parents cannot abuse or neglect children. Parents have the responsibility of caring for and raising their children.

12. No littering. We want to preserve our resources.

13. No animal cruelty or neglect. Torturing animals is not legal. If a person owns an animal, it is their responsibility to care for it. 

14. Everyone has equal treatment. Discrimination is unjust.

Mothers and fathers, do you want your children to have the top schooling in the country? Schooling will be aided by the best faculty and professors in the country. Would you like them to be immersed in the most advanced tech, created by us of course. Here at Sapientia, we have strict rules and forced discipline, but this only brings more peace to the chaos in the outside world. Bringing your children to Sapientia we'll give them a new outlook on life. Sapientia will create discipline, routine, and perfection in your child's life. Join our utopia Sapientia, and you will seek knowledge above all else.

 BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I roll out of bed and whack my alarm to turn it off. Alarms and telephones are about the only kind of technology that we are allowed to have in our homes, other than plumbing, heating, and utilities. I head downstairs for breakfast with my parents and three siblings, then we all rush out the door. My siblings are off to school, my parents to work, and I have my first day of my new job.

Just yesterday, I was chosen to be one of the only people in Sapientia who is allowed to be in contact with the outside world. My job is to work at our pharmacy and give out medicines to people from all over the country. 

When I arrive at the pharmacy, the other workers welcome me and show me the ropes. Before long, I get my first customer, a young lady, she needs cancer treatment. I grab a small bottle filled with pills from off a shelf and send her home with it. Our breakthrough in curing cancer is something that everyone in Sapientia is proud of, so it makes me feel good to see how our hard work is helping the rest of the world. I spend the next five hours handing out medicines to people from all over. One man said that he came from out of the country to get our special cure for diabetes. I love seeing the hope on people’s faces when they walk out of our store.

Everyone in Sapientia works half day, so when the afternoon shift comes to take over I go home to be with my family. School gets out at the same time as work, so my siblings and parents are arriving home at the same time that I do. I’ve heard that outside of Sapientia people send their kids to "daycares" after school because the parents don’t finish work till hours later. I don’t understand this. The parents must never see their kids!! 

Over dinner my dad tells us that he made a huge breakthrough on a cure for down syndrome, and my mom says that she finished making a machine that can help keep a human heart beating. I’m excited to share these discoveries with the world!

 About Us

We are Sapientia, and we are intellectually superior. Each of our people is blessed with intelligent minds. Our name means wisdom because that is what we strive to have in our daily lives. In our community, we study science, mathematics, and medicine. From discovering a new cure for cancer to constructing new technological advances, every day we are on the brink of success. Our people take pride in each one of the discoveries that we make. Our focus is to help the world advance out of its old ways of medicine and tech. One of the ways we do this is by selling our inventions and discoveries. Here at Sapientia we also have strict laws and punishments but it’s all for the good of our people.

What We Stand For (Sapientia)

“Knowledge above all else”  this is the motto for the Sapientia Utopia. Our laws are carefully chosen so that everyone will have the opportunity to become the smartest that they can be. Our people sacrifice many freedoms so that they are able to learn in the best way possible.  We eliminate as many distractions as we can by limiting access to the outside world. The use of most technology is forbidden unless it is being used in the lab as a tool for an experiment. Science is the only collage education that is allowed. This ensures that everyone will be able to focus on learning more of what is most important for our Utopia. 

Our Utopia’s animal is the owl. The owl has always been associated with wisdom and intelligence, this makes it the perfect choice for Sapientia’s animal. Owls have huge eyes and incredible eyesight. The more you see, the more you learn, and our utopia is all about observing and learning.
