Government
The President is elected for five year terms and Controls every aspect of the Government. The Governments main role is to run a small police force that protects the islands from invaders and scavengers.

Adaptations

Some Farmers on the islands have been experimenting with the concept of biofuels but the lack of any scientific knowledge or equipment has made it very difficult to accomplish. Finding a fuel source for the boats has become a very large issue in the Republic because they are so dependent on the sea for food and they are Used to open ocean fishing trips not taking as long as they would if you had to use a sailing ship.
