My Country - Friday - 3rd period

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

“Good morning everyone!” Yondaime grinned brightly, looking a wee bit on the tan side. “I hope you all had a good vacation, I know I did and I’m really looking forward to you all presenting your countries! There should be elements from every class that we have had to make at least a semi cohesive country and when you present your country please point out what you have and how it works for you. Questions will be asked once each person is done with their presentation, so everyone feel free to ask what you’d like to know.”

[Feel free to handwave the presentation if you want, but I’m really curious to hear what everyone came up with. XD Wait for OCD PLZ]

Yondaime listened intently to Ronan's presentation and looked very impressed.

"So what kind of technology does your country have?" He asked curiously. "Is it like here at fandom or something slightly more rudimentary?"

"The current population," Ronan began his explanation, as a teal deer wandered in from outside to stand in the classroom's doorway, "is much more rudimentary, but there was more advanced technology in the past. The fey possessed it, and it's part of what caused the problems -- they left a lot of it behind, and Spear and Shake went too far with it, too fast. Verona was more cautious about it -- unfortunately, a lot of it was lost, stolen by Spear and Shake during the war, so there's not much left for them to work with. A few artifacts.

"In fact, that's one of the things that the adventurers seek in the Sinkholes -- anything that might still work of the fey's technology.

"There are still a few things left, though," he added. "The elevator that goes up and down the Stratford Falls is of fey design, for example."

Another teal deer joined the first.

Yondaime glanced at the deer with a raise eyebrow, but didn't say anthing. As long as they didn't start eating the flags it was fine.

"Is there a fast acting means of communication between the cities or even within them?"

"Thanks to wizardry, yes," Ronan said. "It's not available the general population, unfortunately, but wizards have methods of speedy communication, which are available at least for official correspondence, and some offer their services to their friends as well. No wizard would charge for his or services, however."

"So is there a post system for those who can't use the wizarding method?"

Re: Present!

Ronan considered that for a moment; it wasn't an aspect he'd considered. "Nothing official," he said, "but traders will take letters and small parcels, for a small fee. There's some risk involved -- not all traders are entirely honest -- but for the most part it works."

"Interesting," he nodded with a smile. "Good job Ronan, very thorough."
