Scenario: The year is 2081. You and your team members have been given the opportunity to start a new society on a deserted land that is fully equipped with all needed amenities and modern technology. The land is not owned or under the influence of any nation. It is the responsibility of your group to inhabit this land in any manner that you choose. By working cooperatively, your group will build the "Perfect Society" and will introduce your society to the class via an informational presentation that will include information about your Utopia.

Step 1: Get into groups of up to 4 people (you can choose to do this independently as well)

Step 2: Begin creating your utopian society

Your group needs to create two things:

Name of society

Flag--should be in color (unless purposefully choosing black and white)

Map

Motto & Seal

Motto--A short phrase that represents what your society stands for

Nation Anthem -- Which you will write and perform

Seal--An image encompassed in a circle that represents your society. It usually includes your motto inside of it.
