All are welcome to come and go whenever they choose. We only expect that you respect the laws and fellow citizens. It is required that those who do come must pass the humility requirements. Other than that we will accept everyone from all races and religions and allow them to have as many rights as the everyone else.

Daily Itinerary
Life here is based on the safety, freedom, needs and beliefs of the people. Schedules are very flexible we do not believe in stress because stress gets nothing done. A typical day would look something like:
(males 5-70+ years old)
AM
5:30- wake up and eat breakfast
6:00- go to work or school
10:45- take a break from what you're doing (optional)
PM
12:00- lunch
4:30- return home
4:45-8:30- is all up to you
(Female 0-70+ years old boys 1-4 years)
AM
5:30- wake up and eat breakfast
6:00-8:30- tend to garden/farm, attend school/work (optional)
9:00-11:59- visit trading market, attend school/work (optional)
PM
12:00-3:00- trading market, lunch, visit neighbors, attend school/work (optional)
3:00-4:00- tend garden/farm, return home (if at or school/work)
4:00-8:30- your choice
Saturday's
AM
5:30- wake up and eat breakfast
6:00-10:30- tend garden/farm, visit trading market
11:00-12:00- your choice
PM
1:00-12:00- your choice
Sunday
AM
5:30- wake up and eat breakfast
7:00-10:00- church
The rest of the day- rest
Again the schedule is extremely flexible but work and school is highly recommended and often desired for trading tokens and service itself.

I have spent only a few weeks in Abundantia and you can't help but notice the kindness everybody practices. Another thing that I thought was very different was every Saturday my neighbors check up on me and make sure I have what I need before Sunday because every trading market is closed because for some reason Sunday is the day everyone goes to church and stay together as a family. It's weird but at the same time peaceful.
4-23-2013
This place continues to surprise me, everybody has a garden! There is also no currency everyone is willing to share there produce. Also the government is very different they genuinely care about you and I, the people here take politics seriously and choose all figures of the governing branches with extreme thought and caution. It also seems every person loves school ms work even when all they get is education and trading tokens which is pretty much a coin with the national seal on it.

At the beginning of every month the city through a large social gathering unless of course it's a Sunday. It's just like a normal party but there are no alcoholic beverages or any form of drugs and the music that is played are not in any way suggestive but it is by far the best social event I have attended. There are electronic devices but they are used for getting the news, organizing work and school assignments/reports, organization in general, sharing information and some entertainment such as music and social media which are highly filtered for everyone not that anybody wants to do anything bad, those who do though which are rare and usually physical or verbal are driven to humility not in a harsh way but in a firm way. Those who are mentally troubled are taken to rehab asylums where they are treated with respect and care.

I am a farmer in Bonheur, on of the tropical regions of the massive island, and I mainly grow mangos, bananas, and pineapple. I also raise swine and cattle to trade at the market place while my eldest son goes to school at BYU-Bonheur to study agriculture, and my husband works as a phsycology therapist at the St.Joseph hospital. So an avrage day would be waking up and eating my breakfast then going out and working on my farm for a few hours then go to the market and trade for some feed and groceries then return back home and reading until my neighbor comes and offers to work on the farm then he and I work until lunch then I pack him a lunch before he goes to school then I rest until my spouse comes home for dinner and bed.

Since I am 87 you would assume I receive plenty of help from others, well your assumption would be correct the officers that watch out for this city provide help and food for not only me but for all members of the city.

I have lived on the island for quite some time now and I would say the most peculiar thing I have encountered would have to be the wide variety of culture. There are many different ethnicity and religions and everyone gets along well. Of course where there are differences in society there is racism but the government keeps everything in order quite well and for that I am thankful.

Hey my name is Ayden Christoffel and I live all over the island and met some good people all over the place. My normal day would be waking up early in the morning and natralizing my camp get some water and food, pack my bag and start running. I run everywhere by foot through all types of lands because of how clean the wilderness is and there is plenty wilderness to go around trust me. Every now and then I will stop by the markets to pick up some clothing to blend in with the different cultures and learning about there customs and presenting them to the students of all different ages. Currently I have enjoyed hanging out with the nomads in the desert environments. All I can say is I love my job.1-19-2014I would have to say that the best thing about my job is certainly the people and what they do to provide for each other. I especially enjoy the opportunity to get to know all the children and seeing their innocence and simple thinking. I also love the clean untouched landscapes that I have been blessed to be able to run through and spend my evenings in and sorting out my mind it's gives an indescribable feeling. I also love helping others, I have my masters degree in psychology and sociology, and why gain an education when you don't even use it. I have made lots of friends who I will go to great lengths to help them out though I have not told any exactly what goes on in my head because I am more concerned about them than myself and that's the way I like it.1-25-2014Well all you know about me is my hobbies but there is much more I don't run on Sunday's because that's the day I go to church and rest I will not tell what religion I am part of especially when this entre is going to be shared with the people outside the island because someone people sometimes! They just can't handle differences sometimes it is really kind of immature. All I will say is that I know my religion is the one true religion that understands the truth and importance of God and Christ and of this life and death, chaos and tranquility, good and evil. I understand even saying that is risky but why hide what I know as the truth. No I am not married I never got around to that for personal reasons that might be complicated to explain and you to understand. Any way not only do I run but I do my best to help others in their long run of course there is always room for improvement which is good because I need all the improvement I can get my hands on even in this close to perfect civilization which is many times better than the world I originally lived in. So as a very brief conclusion I live to ensure life.~Ayden Christoffel

Utopian Animal
The animal chosen for this utopian society is the noble stag. The stag was chosen as a symbol of strength, intuitiveness, innocence, purity, perseverance, vigilance and generosity.
There is not much more to say about the reason why the stag was chosen but that along with humans all animals (all life) is to be treated with respect. Consumption of legal beasts are permitted in moderation. Animal farms though must also follow the rule of respect towards all life.
