Creative Complex: Build-A-World Part 2

Hello, Friends!

Today, we are continuing with our Build-A- Bear World series! If you missed the first installment, read it here.

Who likes government and politics?

Continuing with our high fantasy theme, you will need a government system for your mini world, to hold up to scrutiny. Think of it like this: we're making a snow globe world. It needs the basics, but no more than the basics. Government is essential to any world you are creating.

There are a few basic types of government:

1) Democracy

Basically rule by the people, for the people. The people vote directly on pretty much everything.

2) Republic

Kind of like a democracy, but instead the people elect representatives to vote on laws for them. This is like the US's government.

3) Monarchy

Basically rule by a monarch (king, queen, emperor, etc.)

4) Aristocracy

Rule by the wealthy people (aristocrats). The middle and lower classes have no power.

5) Dictatorship

Rule by one person. Dictators are usually bad leaders, such as Hitler.

6) Communist

A communist government is where everything in the country is owned by the government and the government distributes everything according to people's needs (supposedly). People do not get paid for their jobs; they  get the supplies they need to live (ex. food) instead. Communist governments usually do not work this way. Instead, they become corrupt.

Pick a government. Then, decide if it:

• Functions correctly 
• Is corrupt
• Is not corrupt, but has minor problems 

If you picked one of the last two options, decide what the corruption looks like or what problems the government has.

We are one step closer to making our very own snow globe! If you would like, tell us what government your world has in the comments below.
