The Great Lakes Civilization

1824 Words8 Pages

LOCATION:
The Great Lakes civilization consists all of the area surrounding the Great lakes. This location is subject to all of the seasons such as winter summer fall and spring but the most noticeable are summer and winter. I chose this location for my civilization because it has one of the most important resources for human beings, that resource being fresh water. Another benefit that my civilization has other than fresh water is the way my civilizations people can use the lakes to hunt for food by fishing. A disadvantage of my civilization is that the yearly temperatures are a bit colder than more southern civilizations which hurts my civilizations ability to farm for food. As a result my civilizations population is very low compared to …show more content…

The decision to have one emperor came from the article about the Shang Dynasty. I only wanted there to be one emperor because I felt that it would be a more effective and stronger type of government than a bunch of people. Ultimately, I felt it would just save time. The emperor inside the G.L.C is connected to the religion of the G.L.C. The emperor often regarded as the summo ente. The summo ente is often a male but can at times be female and their rule lasts their entire lives. The emperor is highest level of government in the G.L.C. They are truly a person to be feared. The way the people of the G.L.C follow every word of the Odium Cupiditas can be frightening at times. Under him are nine senators that control the armies and certain territories inside the G.L.C. It is these senators duties to create peace or conduct war with the native tribes that border the G.L.C. Next to the position of senator there is the position of governor. There are nine governors that are each assigned to one out of the nine territories. It is the governor’s jobs to work side by side with the senators to make laws that help benefit the people inside the territories. The territories are divided into cities which are governed by mayors. The mayor’s job is to solve disputes within cities and to keep the peace. This is the government of the Great Lakes …show more content…

I chose for the text to be more for legal and religious text because of the egyptians having a specific written language for their religion and government .There are very little books inside of the G.L.C that don’t have to do with legal issues documented by the government officials or religious texts meant for the people. The reason not a lot of recreational texts meant for entertainment is the lack of knowledge outside of the upper class. The only writing meant for entertainment purposes is only for the highest of the government officials, the emperor. The actual record keeping of the G.L.C is very meticulous and well kept. The government documents all of the rules and laws, regulations, and orders by the emperor. These are then recreated and dispersed along to all of the territories to let the people know what is happening in the government. Historical documents are also kept inside of the emperor’s city. However, if there is a transition of leadership and the old emperor has died and the new emperor did not favor their decisions. They can get rid of all written history inside the old emperors rule officially not acknowledging the past emperor whatsoever. As is the G.L.C does keep very meticulous records of the emperor’s and government’s actions even though some of them may be
