Its hell, all this suffering is unbearable all the waiting for the military for the government to return and protect us from these…these undead monstrosities. They’re everywhere at night in fact they mostly only seem to come out at night. In all the time of this waiting for the government I finally came to the conclusion that they weren’t coming that they had either saved themselves or had perished like nearly all of the rest of humanity did. However my wife Mari and my adopted brother Rollo from Africa seemed to have hope… hope that someone would create a new government and rebuild society, and I Barry Merlyn think that I have what it takes to rebuild this world. First I had to make a leader out of myself so I killed as many “zombies” …show more content…

I combined Britain, China, Japan, and the United States government to make the most perfect government I would call it Merlyn’s Law, and the Economic System is command if you didn’t already figure it out. In this government there would be an “elected” king or queen however there would be a council that could aid the people in overthrowing the king or queen and in the case of this happening the council would have more power than the king or queen, but other than that the king or queen has all the power. I put out flyers of jobs that needed to be taken and had Mari and Rollo spread the word the jobs were: water processor, medic, hunter, gatherer, food inspectors, teachers, garbage collectors, and farmers. Of course each person would have to take a test to see if they qualify for jobs they want and after the test they would be given a list of jobs they qualified for. However if a stupid person (not to be offensive but most of the people here are delinquents) got a crappy job then they can go and take the test again or go back to school for a, decent price of course. Speaking of price since none of us have real money we decided that we would barter people could get what they wanted in exchange for what they didn’t want for example: We traded our neighbor three oranges and 13 strawberries for four cans of

  • The Aztec Empire

    Who were the Aztecs? Why were they considered to be an empire even greater than the Romans? And how was Hernan Cortes able to defeat them? These are some of the questions that people ask about these indigenous people. These people are known as the Aztecs but originally called themselves Mexica. They came to Mexico in the early thirteenth century and from there they started to develop a social structure and government consisting of priests, kings, peasants, and soldiers. Besides having a very organized society the Aztecs had a very large and intimidating army consisting of full time soldiers and peasants. By 1427 A.D. the Aztec empire became the dominant group and controlled most of central Mexico. Considering how advanced and large the Aztec culture and society were makes me believe that they were aware of other people outside of their civilization. A clear example would be that they knew of neighboring tribes other than their own that they went to war with and conquered. Although I do believe that the Aztecs were caught off guard and even amazed when they saw the light skinned Spaniards. I also believe that Cortes wasn’t the first outsider to make contact with the Aztecs but I do believe he was the first light skinned person to make contact with them because of Moctezumas reaction to Cortes description. Hernan Cortes was a Spanish conquistador who defeated the Aztecs with less than 1000 soldiers and a handful of horses. Some reasons that have to do with the Aztecs fall from power are the Prophecy of Quetzalcoatle, their Emperor Moctezuma, enemy tribes, disadvantages in technology, their omens, disease, and lastly their warfare rituals.
