There are eleven colonies, each with their own constitution and representatives. There are three heads of government, one military, one political, and one layman. Each department head is subject to the people and the colony representatives. Government is kept small and the people rule, but are held accountable for their own actions. Intricate chains are held to maintain accountability, responsibility, and integrity. From the heads of government to the man harvesting corn in section 22 of Iowa, honor and integrity are made to rule.
Officials are only allowed two terms on office at any level, after that they may agree to mentor new blood.
There are harsher punishments for repeat offenders. Appeals are limited to three and capital punishment is lawful in all colonies. Different categories of deviation are handled in different ways. They are separated into groups by age and gender, type of activity, and their ability or likelihood to commit the act again. Embezzlers are not placed in the same category as rapists and murderers. Property destruction is set apart from kidnapping.
Once a suspect has been judged a criminal, they lose most or all of their government rights. They still have the right to counsel and three appeals, but once in the system they have to earn everything except food, clothing, a bed, and certain medical attentions. There is no internet, library, smoking, or other such privileges. Classical education, language, and etiquette classes are offered, but nothing that would be considered a college education. The classes have to be earned with work and good behavior. Team work and character builders are also offered for those of nonphysical crimes. Just as education is individualized as much as possible, so also is punishment for criminal activity, based on the crimes severity, damage, and the criminals psychological profile.

American Republic of Independet Colonies Government
The new government is being formed, information gathered, and votes cast. The Eastern and Western United states are in financial ruin since the destructive crash of the economy. ARIC has been effected in many large ways by this down fall, but the new government has declared a year of jubilee. All debts have been called off as the financial system is starting from scratch. We are the breadbasket and we have a great percentage of the continents food under our per view. Petrolium products among many other things have been cut off from us.
While we have electricity and internet access, we have no gas for vehicles and manufacturing or industrial plants. The harvesting and proccessing of food must be done by hand. Fabrics must be made or imported from allied countries. Major corporationations, banks, and credit companies are gone due to the collapse of the economy and the year of jubliee.
We have turned to the Quakers, Menenite, and Amish to teach us how to rebuild without certain technologies and materials. Medical attention suffers as many have turned to alternative and natural methods of health care. Insurance companies have collectively decided to start covering wholistic methods as well as modern medical technologies. Few lives have been lost because of the war but many have died for lack of medical attention that wholistic cures could not resolve. That being said, the occurinces of disease, cancers, and many othe seemingly common alements and health issus have gone down dramatically over tha last two years. Our food, household products, and daily life materials are pure and organic, untouched by chemicals, detergents, and pesticides.
China is the new world power and one of our few allies. They have taught us about their ancient medical practices. We have learned and adopted some of their culture, but kept our inharently Christian beliefs. The new government has learned to work with China, dispite our differences, the relationship we have with them is open.
Mexico and Canada are also allies. We have invited many of our Middle American people to earn passage into ARIC. Those who are already here must fill out a simple form, pay a reasonable yearly fee, like a tax, and agree to work on a farm to help with food production. Each person or family is assigned to a farm and is accountable to their property owner. Without fuel for mechinery to plant, harvest, and process food this is a great help to large property owners. Spanish, English, and Mandrine are taught in schools throughout the nation. All imagrants must take English classes and progress in them in order to keep their place on their farm.
Government budget plans are monotered by the people. We decide how our taxes are spent based on what we buy and our chosen lifestyles. Public schools are not the same in the U.S. I guess you could say that everything is a charter school. Budgets have to be held to and curriculum must be successful or the school is closed. Programs that are not in use or do not work are cut and the money is reallocated or refunded accordingly. Lobbying is illegal and anyone caught doing such a thing or receiving benefits thereof are either put in jail or deported to the United States.

Classical Education in the New World
For many years I have been working on creating a curriculum for home schooling my children. I never thought I would be implementing it on a larger scale such as this. As the head of education here in Lake Geneva I am in charge of only twenty four children, but everything I have is so different from what is in public schools that switching gears can be difficult. I have combine the classical education (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) with etiquette, Latin, Greek ans ASL, Bible study, character builders, and domestic living skills. Together with a couple other teachers we have created a test for to figure out where each child stands in each area, how they learn and how to continue from where they are. Personality and intelligence tests are done and each child is worked with by the community. Everyone here is a teacher, not just the adults. There is a lot of tutoring, mentoring, and individual attention. Children are not separated into age groups, they are placed in classes based on how developed they are in a given are and how they learn.
My Jordan is only four but is placed in a group with three other deaf children, two hearing children, one deaf and one hearing adult who are all visual/spacial and logical/mathematical developed. She is also for part of each day placed in a group with differing learning styles to learn problem solving and team work. All of the children are learning the same materials, but we have figured out how to play to each child's strongest abilities and build on their weaknesses. Parental involvement is key and thus far has not been a problem.
The old has passed away and a new era of American history is being created. While times are tough, the new nation of the American Republic of Independent Colonies is slowly coming into its own. Few lives have been lost, more because of the antiwar liberals on the opposing side. Our eleven states will soon be set free from United rule because their people are so against the loss of innocent lives, especially those of now former Americans. This civil war has torn a scar down the middle of the United States of America, but they are giving in so easily to the rebellion because there are so many divided families. We play to their belief system to gain freedom from their control.

A New World
The Middle class has risen up against the government. We fight for separation from the United States to correct the massive issues that have been created to oppress us. Our eleven states run right down the middle of the nation, the breadbasket states have collectively rebelled and set up places of sanctuary for refuges. More than a quarter of the American military has joined our cause and fights for the freedom of our people.
It has been three weeks since we hacked into many government, bank, and major corporation computers. They won't realize the damage we have caused for another six days when they self destruct and the economy crashes. Although the leaders of the revolution are just trying to delay the inevitable loss of lives, we do not want to hurt any one. The United States government has brought this on themselves and it is time to exercise our rights as the people to stand up against what is destroying our great nation.
My name is Molly MacGregor, I am not a leader in this fight, only a teacher in one of the newly formed campuses throughout the rebelling states. I do not know much of what our leaders have planned for the future. I only know what I have heard from a chain of people who helped me and my husband, Colin, to seek shelter from the coming storms. We knew received word from our friends Nicholas and Isabell Trafelgar that southeast Wisconsin may not be as safe as Minnesota. A list of camps was given to us as options for escape. We chose one that we familiar to me from childhood, Lake Geneva, where I had attended summer camp from third grade through high school graduation.
There are only about two hundred of us here now but we have room for at least a thousand more. Parts of the camp do not have proper heating for the winter and the RV park will run into trouble when the cold comes also. When we arrived here some months ago with our three young daughters the place was virtually abandon, but stocked like Forte Knox. The leaders of the rebellion are organized and have appointed overseers for each camp. Scott and Libby Adler are such leaders here at Lake Geneva. Not long after Colin and I arrived I was appointed the principal of the education department. Along with my own children there are more than tree dozen children under the age of eighteen here. Only twenty four of them are of school age.
My own children Jordan, 4, Luciana, 2, and Grace, 8 months, are going to grow up in a very different world than I ever pictured for my family.
Jordan is really my half-sister, Colin and I adopted her when she was two years old after my father died of teberchulosis and my young stepmother died of a congenital heart defect. Jordan is deaf because of constant and server ear infections when she was a baby in the Philipines, without medical attention. Luciana is our Chinese adopted daughter whom we brought home just a couple weeks before Genevieve, my stepmother, brought us Jordan. We had no choice but to adopt my baby sister, anything else would be unthinkable. Less than a month after Jordan was brought to us, I was found to be pregnant and eight months ago I had little Grace. Ours was an altogether unplanned and instant family. Luciana was planned to be our first and perhaps only child, but God has blessed us through tragedy and brought new life. Colin and I dreamed about having a family for fourteen years, now they are here and we are thrilled to see what else God has planned for us in this new world.
