Jetsonia's Government

Technologically based society

Two main bodies of Government: Empathions and Logicians

Empathions: Make decisions based on what is the right thing to do. This group is non-utilitarians who try to help everyone.

Logicians: Make decisions based on Logic. Will kill one person to save two, etc. They are the Ultimate Utilitarian group.

The two bodies confer together to make the widespread policy decisions. These positions are not voted into, they are test based (technological society) previous group trains the new group every five years for five years. Each group is in office for 10 years.

Ten Logocians and nine Empathions to make decisions, they vote on everything. The entire body is commonly known as the brain, but formerly known as the Jetsonian Brain Trust.

Motto Description

"The Future Unites Us All"
This is our motto for our utopian society, Jetsonia. Jetsonia is a technology driven society. This is significant because since we depend on the latest and best technologies to run our society, we are constantly looking at the future. This explains why our motto is the future unites us all. Without the future and people continuously coming up with the latest technology, we would not be able to succeed and be continuously developing in every way we intend to. The motto also has to do with the fact that we have two bodies of government in the Empathions and the Logicians. Our technology and the future of our technology unites these two bodies of government and helps us become successful.

Seal Description

Seeing how our utopian society is called Jetsonia, our seal has a futuristic space theme. Similar to what the Jetson family used for transportation, I created a spaceship (or flying car) that is shaped into a giant "J" (with the "estonia" portion of our society's name on the left side of the ship). We are using this creation to show how technologically advanced we are in this society versus others. The front of the ship is an arrow pointing forward to explain that our society only looks to the future and never looks back to the past. History texts are deemed as forbidden because the government believes that it helps everyone focus on creativity and discovery without embracing past inventions. This also explains our motto (“The Future Unites Us All”) placed on the flag that the robotic ship hand is holding. Of course between our two-sided government, matters are discussed between the Empathions and Logicians, and are never resolved until votes are tallied, concluding with the Logicians having their final say due to there being more of them. The creature in the cockpit of the ship happens to be an alien like Elroy Jetson’s pet, Orbity. The alien species is our Utopian animal reminding citizens of how one always feels warmth and calmness, resulting in a happy state of mind.

Geography: Where are We?

We have decided to set up out society in Space.  Only a few light years away from our Earth, Jetsonia is situates in the "final frontier".  By living up in Space, we have opened doors to further study of the vast darkness we now call home.  While at Earth people try to live "green", we believe in exploration and learning.  We live comfortably in our "bubble".  Our digital citizenship helps us to understand our way of life.  We rely on the internet, since we learn and teach through it.  Although there are many people who embrace our way of life, there are still the small few who try to hold on to life on Earth.  Earth-borns try to live a "grounded" way of living.  We have a lot of respect for those who grew up on Earth, which is why they are welcomed with open arms to try and adapt to the new way of the future.

Here is an excerpt of a blog written by a young Jetsonian who will remain annonymous:

Is anyone out there?  I know you are, you read me every day.  I can't say that I miss Earth, since I've never been there.  Mom still talks about it, she was Earth-born.  Every night when I gaze into space, I wonder how we got here.  Technology has raced so quickly that a light year seems like nothing.  Daddy decided to go on to explore what could possibly be an extension of one of our colonies.  All he needs to find is water and he could design a new place to live.

Mom says I'm growing too quickly, I'm going to need new Moon Boots for our next vacation.  I hate hand-me-downs.  I think hand-me-downs are too Earthly.  All my other friends get new clothes the same day through online shopping.  I get my sister's used clothes.
