A. What is the geography of this utopian place? What are the major geographical features (bodies of water, mountains, canyons, etc.)? What does this place look like?
The geography of Risker Island is mountainous and is an island, meaning it is surrounded by water. There is also a small canyon in the middle of the island that is a very peaceful yet quite dangerous. The flow of it water is rapid and quick. One wrong mistake on this river can cost one their life. Mostly those that have been on Risker Island for more than about three years ride the river of this canyon called, "Rapid Rush." Being quite mountainous there are also forests found at the foot of the mountains. These forests are packed with wild life and those that many would not like to encounter. The biggest forest on Risker Island is called, "Danimal Forest." Some new animals were discovered in the immense forests of Risker Island, "Popzonia," for example, is an organism that is usually only 5-7 ounces and looks like a mixture of a tropical frog and a mosquito. They make a popping noise whenever they jump into the air. Being able to fly and jump it might seem like a very unpleasant creature, but they are not harmful at all. Another new organism found in the forests of Risker Island is, "Sqown Fish," which looks like a mix between a clown fish and a squirrel. It is one of the first organisms that have been found in the lakes and ponds in the forests of Risker Island. They have hair, feet, arms, and facial features similar to a squirrels', but also the fins, gills and the body of similarity a clown fish. There are also various lakes and ponds found on Risker Island, which are great providers of water after being purified. If one would like to get a cold breeze on Risker Island, they might want to climb to the top of "Mt. Brezed" our tallest mountain. Also living on Risker Island, one might want to have the skill of determining the differences between a mountain and a volcano because there are two volcanoes on Risker Island, "Zycormia" and "Lovingrupt" which are both not active.
What natural resources, if any, are available? How will they be used?
Natural resources that are available on Risker Island are gold, oil, and some minerals. This has helped Risker Island develop exchange and communicate to other countries since these are all quite useful for some countries.

The soil is also very fertile on Risker Island making it very easy to grow and export fruits and vegetables.
C. Is the climate suitable for agriculture? If so, what crops will be
cultivated? Please make reference to population statistics for
feasibility calculation.
The climate of Risker Island is suitable for agriculture, but only 1,000 of the 10,000 citizens of Risker Island are in this field of occupation as a farmer because it is considered more of a job that requires less education and usually with a salary that is less than a majority of the jobs on Risker Island. The crops that they usually plant are rice, and many citrus fruits such as kiwi, oranges, lime, and lemons.
D. How are jobs determined? What percentage of the workforce is
dedicated to the survival and growth of the Utopia?
Jobs are determined by the choice of each individual citizen of Risker Island. Each citizen of Risker Island pursues the job they want through education at school. The more they want to be an expert at their job the more they can learn for it at school. The workforce at Risker Island is dedicated to its survival and growth in an indirect way. Since there are such a variety of people at Risker Island, each with their own dreams and goals, there are some that are very successful and those that aren't. Seeing the successful citizens, of Risker Island, this has encouraged some other people to immigrate to Risker Island, which is keeping Risker Island growing in population. About 20% of the citizens of Risker Island work as farmers and miners which is a big portion of what Risker Island exports to other countries.

There are also some berries that can be found on Risker Island, including, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, and blueberries. Some vegetables that are plenty on Risker Island are broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes. There is also a very delicious vegetable first found on Risker Island called, Promactoe which is found underground, is pink, and has a texture like potatoes except a little bit crunchier.
