Location: In the Middle East between Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

Advantages

Ø      Good natural supply of phosphorus

Ø      Land between Euphrates and Tigris river is mostly fertile

Ø      Can easily grow crops such as apples

Ø      Rivers can irrigate the land

Ø      A lot of sunlight due to hot cloudless summers

Ø      Supply of Phosphate

Disadvantages

Ø      Soil degradation

Ø      Floods

Ø      Cold winter leading to heavy snow

Nitrogen Cycle

        Our plan to have nitrogen cycle through the system is to first have plants that are able to take in nitrogen so it can get into soil by having many trees and plants that take it in. Animals, such as mice and cows, can eat those plants and can be eaten by another animal (wolves or hawks), poop or die and decompose by the ants, spiders or bacteria. In order for nitrogen to be in water we have the trees roots that connect in to water to be released and we have algae to take in nitrogen, so it can be eaten by fish and so it can be eaten by a another fish, poop or die and decompose in the marine sediments.  We also have electric sparks produced by industrial processes could convert molecular nitrogen into compounds and be used for fertilizer.

Phosphorus cycle

        By having a good supply of phosphorus in the area, there is enough phosphorus to be cycled throughout the system. For phosphorus to be cycled through the system by having plants and algae take in it as phosphate. As algae take in phosphate, bacteria and fish are able to get the phosphorus. Fish can poop or die and decompose on the water floor and go back to the soil. Fish can also be eaten be birds (hawks) and those birds can poop becoming guano and be used for phosphorus fertilizer.  animals that eat plants or the fish can be eaten by other animals and those animals can be poop or die and decompose by bacteria and insects.

Carbon Cycle

        The carbon cycle is one that circulates carbon in the ecosystem. Starting in the water around the building, the carbon atoms can transfer between the soil and water. as the water is evaporated, the carbon follows. As water precipitates, its returns back in the water or it lands on land and is taken in by plant life, returning to the soil. As the land is slowly eroded away, the carbon follows, returning once again to the ocean.

Society
        Our government that the people will go under is democracy. Since there is going to be a total of 100 or more people, their will be council of seven members that will represent people' rules on what to live by. Those seven people are separated in different groups and those groups will run a certain task like jobs, crime and laws. One of the important rules so that they don't overpopulate, is that each couple is limited to two children. Is that rule is broken, the child could be adopted by another family that doesn't have more two children and if no one takes the child, it will be aborted or killed.

The jobs available to the people are into the following categories: agriculture, medical, commercial, education, entertainment, and political.
