Actually I’m more like a scout than a recruiter. I find people that would fit into a Utopian City-State. I check to see that the candidate has the right stuff and the right desires. I mainly recruit athletes, builders, engineers, architects, artists, performers, programmers, craftsmen, teachers, performers and people that are followers of a unique religion. All the people that I place on my candidate list are people that are disaffected from other groups that make a pretense to a symbiotic relationship with the candidate but have a hidden agenda to empower themselves regardless of who gets hurt. Most of the people I scout are the victims of the surreptitious power struggles of people that do not have the ability to succeed honestly or meritoriously without stepping on others.

Normally the people I place on my candidate list have an innate ability to remove randomity from a group. Their presence stabilizes their team, group, company or family. They are the team players that play defense as well as offense for the benefit of the team rather than self glorification. These people are the ones that step up when the ‘stars’ are injured and lead their team to victory with sparkling two way play. As engineers or performers, they step right into an organization, with very little instruction, and just start doing their job. They perform better this way. They are better leading themselves than being led. As a soccer, hockey or basketball player, they would run onto the field and fill the gap left by an injured player. They would know exactly what is needed, do it, and do it well.

A game of chess is an accumulation of small advantages that the experienced player can combine to create victory for himself. In a similar way, the people I scout have these small abilities that when combined produce a superior society. These people like the challenge of a Utopian City-State. They rise to their maximum potential. They are happy in this environment. Their cheerfulness and enthusiasm infects their peers. Their good spirit is contagious. Good health is a by-product of their happy ways. Slight health problems seem to melt away in a proper environment.

A person cannot be totally happy if he sees suffering in others, especially in those to whom he has reliance or vice versa. That’s why this job means so much to me. This job fulfills my need to reach out and help others.

Have to go. We have an emergency in the life of one of our best candidates…

The coffee, the activity and the rising sun invigorated me. While changing for work, I mused at how the house had grown. A couple of years ago I wasn’t sure that this new Utopian City-State would work. My original ‘house’ was a couple of ten by twelve foot sheds put side by side. It worked well and I was quite happy since my needs were provided for by the activities of a growing and enthusiastic environment. I spent much of my free time in the community activity center. I also enjoyed the work environment and the peers where I worked. Life was good even without the new additions to my house.

I rode my bicycle to work. Cars and trucks aren’t allowed in the city. When I arrive at Independence One from the outside, I park my car in the parking lot and take a bus – similar to the busses at Disney World – to my house. Mopeds are allowed, but this morning I prefer to get a little morning exercise.

My place of employment doesn’t look significant. It is a small brick building – about a hundred feet on each side. At the entrance, I peer into a device that scans my retina. The latch on the door clicks and the door swings open. Once inside, I ride the escalators downward to my underground office. This place is much bigger underground than at the surface. The underground facilities are at least 300,000 square feet. At least a thousand people work here. This is my favorite job.

My job is to monitor people outside of Independence One. I follow people on my monitor sometimes for months. I look for the right people. I am a recruiter.

Have you ever felt like you were being watched?

A recent poll found that the majority desired being allowed to secede into states, groups of states, or city-states. This poll also found that the majority were dissatisfied with the present form of democracy.

This site has continually recommended a random selection of representatives from a pool of college graduates coupled with an elected senate. This site has always pushed for a government whose only responsibility was to protect a list of rights for their citizens including freedom from invasion. This site has continually pushed for justice that protected the rights of others via restitution and prophylactic measures rather than by fear.

People don’t want to be responsible for the debts of their irresponsible forefathers. People want jobs and opportunity. People want the job of their dreams. People want a government that cares about their happiness and stress free existence. People want a society where the tide slowly rises rather than an economy that resembles continual tsunamis.

The Utopian States is looking for venture capital to fund a prototype 60,000 acre Utopia City-State.
