 * TABOOS:**

**Sanctions:** Since there is not many people in our society, things that are known as folkways before are now considered a more serious offense. In other other words, we don’t put up with bull. Following a folkway gets you recognized by the community. If you don’t follow a folkway, you will be looked down upon, but no punishment will be set. A negative sanction for breaking a more will result in fine or jailtime. A positive sanction for following mores are sometimes recognized, but it is expected of the citizens to not break them. Breaking a taboo ultimately results in banishment. The positive sanctions for taboos are limited because it is expected of the citizens to follow. The negative sanctions for breaking a taboo is being banned from our society and having to try to survive on your own.

**History:** On December 21, 2012, the Mayan predications of the apocolypse came true. There were earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes which destroyed most of the world, and much of the population was lost. Only the few, strong and intelligent survived with no technology, few resources, and only each other to survive with. They all fled to Wisconsin, which was the only preserved land because of the pole shift, disasters, and flooding that happened. They chose the name Phoenix for their new culture because a phoenix rose from the ashes as they did. They dedicated themselves to rebuilding the world with peace and good morals.

**Material Culture:** Museums, Art, Universities, Parks, Reservations, Recycling Bins, Churches/Places of Worship, Hydroelectricity, Solar Panels, Wind Turbines

**Non-material Culture:** Our language is a hybrid of all languages that were spoken in the North American continent, which consists of English, Spanish and French. Conservation is a big part of our nonmaterial culture. Our culture’s value is to create a green society. The symbol of our country is the recycle logo. = media type="custom" key="10610924" =
