Mini Constitution of Glacialis

In the country of Glacialis we have a monarchy. This means that we have one ruler that controls a section. In our country that would be Queen Jenn, who rules the ice caps, and Princess Ana, who rules the tundra. The difference between what Queen Jenn rules and what Princess Ana rules is that Jenn has more control in economic and political part of the country. Princess Ana has more say in minor laws such as traffic violations and the school systems. Some examples of economic laws would be that all citizens have to pay taxes to the Queen in order for her to maintain the neighborhoods, health care, and the schools. This ties into what Princess Ana is able to control. Princess Ana has control over the schools system, which includes who to hire, what they teach, and who they teach it to. Also, Princess Ana has control over minor laws such as traffic law, which includes, speed limit, driving age, stop signs, and stop lights.

Some laws that are controlled by both, Queen Jenn and Princess Ana, would be gun control laws, and freedoms/ rights. Examples of gun control laws would be how old you have to be to own one, and when you can use them. Some examples of freedoms/ rights would be freedom of speech, freedom of expression, the right to privacy, and the right to practice your own religion.

For the citizens of Glacialis, punishments for violating law would depend on what law was broken. For example if an economic law, did not pay taxes, was broken then that citizen could serve up to six years in prison. If a minor law such as a traffic law, speeding, was broken that citizen could end up paying a fine or going to jail for one year. If an employee of the school systems went out of his/her way to teach a subject that is not meant to be taught then that teacher or worker could end up paying a fine and could possibly be fired from his/ her job. If a citizen broke a gun control law, such as owing the gun illegally, that citizen could end up paying a fine and possibly be revoked all privileges to own a gun for the rest of his/her life. If a citizen was a victim of not being allowed all of his/ her rights such as, the right to privacy, then the person who violated the other citizen’s right would end up paying a fine and fifteen days in jail.

Glacialis is a country that’s a monarchy and has to rulers, Queens Jenn, ruler of ice caps, and Princess Ana, ruler of the tundra. Because we have a monarchy the Queen and Princess run the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and citizens have some say, but very little.

 * 1) 2 Glacialas Social Structure of Society

Savannians - The normal everyday working people. They don’t really report back to the Queen and Princess of Glacialas unless it is for there asking. These people are very independent. Most people own large lands of the tundra to grow and farm animals to make their profit off their goods. Glenians - They are the poor people in the country. Mostly because the disobayed the queen of the country. They either work for the Savannians or Jenistasians. If they work of the Savannians, they mostly work out in the field or go hunting for the owner. If they belong to the Jenistasians, they clean, cook, and wait on the royal’s. Life isn’t horrible for them as you might think, but they do get paid for working.
 * Jenistasians ** – They are the Queen and Princess of the Ice Caps ( Jenn and Ana). This group is basically all the royals and the rich. They punish the Glenians; have the nicest objects and belongings in all of Glacialas. Queen Jenn rules the Ice Caps and all of Glacialas. Princess Ana is under Queen Jenn (mother) and Ana rules the Tundra. They have control over the Glenians and Savannians.

 * 1) 3 Creation Myth/ Orgin Story

The god Bhakah loved making beautiful and pleasing things. He created all the dainty flowers and flowing streams. One day he had the desire to create something that could talk to him and keep him company. He decided to make a woman. This woman was tall and slender with flowing blonde hair. The god was so pleased when he was finished. He had never seen nor created anything as beautiful. Bhakah told the woman to take care of all of his beautiful creations and nurture his plants. The woman was furious that Bhakah was ordering her around. She did not like it at all. Bhakah’s creation was beautiful and lovely but he did not like her stubbornness and determination. Because the woman wouldn’t attend to his demands, Bhakah sent her to a cold place where there was no beauty such as flowers. This place later became known as Glacialis. Bhakah also left a helpless man there with her named Glen. The god wanted all men to know how stubborn and determined women. Glen was forced to listen and obey all of the woman’s commands. Glen quickly learned that… women run the world. By: Ana Durant Epic of Glacalis Our little epic starts in a small town not in Glacalis but in Akiti where our people were conquered and dragged to. For hundreds years the Glacians had been enslaved to do rigorous work. The women would not be married because in Akiti they only wanted pure blood people, so our women would take care of the children, households, and what seemed to come with job she would be a mistress as well. The Glacian men were becoming more and more furious yes that had to do the hard working jobs that required brute strength and endurance but they did not matter when they saw what was happening to their women. I have not mentioned children in these tough times because after the Glacians tried to revolt the king of Akiti posted a law that stopped all Glacians from having children, if they did happen to have one it was to be put to death immediately. If one family happened to have one that was kept a secret and it was a son then if the child reached 14 years of age he could keep his life but replace his fathers instead. Well in a small town of Akiti there was a family Barb and Cali they were a simple couple that followed all the rules because they were born into slavery but before the revolt mind you. The two of them were always sweet and thought positively because they did not know what freedom felt like they believed that they shouldn’t urn for it. Or they did until one day when Barb realized that she was pregnant. When she got home from what she called work she told Cali how she knew and they couldn’t decide what to do. They came upon a decision that would alter everything they had preached before, they were going to keep it hopefully a him. When the child was born it was a very frail unhealthy baby. Neither Barb nor Cali thought that he would live but named and kept him anyway. The three went through rough times with keeping Aiden a secret but they did it because they simply believed that he was special, and he was more than any of them knew. As soon as Aiden mumbled what seemed like words Barb taught how to read, write, and speak above the intelligence of anyone else. And as soon as he could walk Cali taught him how to hunt and become an unstoppable fighter. They did not do this because they wanted him to revolt actually they taught against it, they did this because they wanted their son to stay alive and live a long free life. This training went on for years making Aiden bigger and smarter than average. When Aiden turned 19 his mother and father were both murdered by rogue Akitians. Aiden was furious and for five years traveled and planned the biggest freedom war Akiti would ever see. As he went from city to city he did not just recruit young and tough Glacians, but anyone who was willing to fight. Not excluding anyone made his army bigger and with a big army and his parents dream for him to be free in his heart he started the first strategic move of this freedom war, finding the Glacians home territory. He sent a few men to investigate if the land was safe or not and when they returned with the good new he started to send the ill, women, and children with a few men to settle the land. The king for the first three years thought that Aiden was just another war make believe hero that the people had been coming up with for years. But when he started moving people to their new homeland to be free the king of Akiti became furious and sent out all of his armies, because this twenty-two year old had out smarted him and he wasn’t even supposed to be alive. Aiden a little disappointed that he couldn’t get everyone to the new homeland but like we said he was above anyone physically and mentally and responded to this insulting war with a letter. This letter made the king furious because it was not a letter of surrender but instead it was a letter declaring war, basically Aiden has insulted the king saying that his power is above the kings. This brutal and almost unfair war went on for two years. The Akitians were becoming more and more out numbered because they were joining the Glacians in battle. Aiden was not just fighting but teaching and preaching a land of freedom that came true. If a man under the Glacian army no matter what their past background had fallen ill or even died they would be take to Glacalis to be nursed or buried. Finally the King of Akiti realized their was no point and tried to run away and leave his men to fight alone. Aiden getting word of this met the king and fought him one on one because in Aiden’s I a ruler cannot be a cowered. Aiden was not going to fight to the death until he saw the king’s battered wife and eleven year old son. He knew that at fifteen his son could become king of Akiti so Aiden did something no other man has done. He tied the king down and went into a room with the king’s wife and son, he spoke to them taught them and comforted them until the young prince realized what had to be done. He knew that his father could no longer rule but he and his mother could so he asked if he could have Aiden’s sword. Aiden a bit confused handed it to him the young battered prince walked tall for the first time when approaching his father, lifted the sword, and cut off his head. Aiden smiled and disappeared before anyone could see him to take him and his men back to their homeland Glacalis. He did not just save and set himself free because of his parents but he set two lands free. Glacalis has flourished every since making sure that everything was equal and education and endurance went hand in hand and should be everyone’s goal.
