The High Lands CommunityLeader Hannah Barnett

Hannah was chosen the leader of her group by the other members. The reason Hannah was chosen is due to her leadership abilities, her ability to motivate people to do what is necessary to help each person appreciate and respect the other. She's always honest and tells it like it is even if it may hurt your feelings. She does what she says she will do and it will be done in a timely manor. She is consistent, isn't afraid to take risks, and has a funny and comical since of humor.

The High Lands CommunityPlant and Animal Life

Here on the Island we have all the natural resources one would need to sustain a healthy and happy life; food, water and recreation! We even provide for a profitable income for all our community members through the sale of a very high grade of marijuana used in the curing cancer.

The High Lands CommunityClimatic and Geographical Features

The climate and geography of this very unique island makes it the perfect spot to spend the rest of your life. Perfect weather year round and a mountain range that not only provides for protection from ocean storms, but also for protection of our large fresh water pool.

The High Lands CommunityFamilies

It takes a village to raise a child and on the Island we share all child rearing responsibilities equally. Even after a hard day of farming!

The High Lands CommunityEducation

Education on the island is kept simple and to a minimum. Basic reading, writing and math are taught to each community member at no charge. In addition, agricultural classes our taught continuously throughout the lifetime of each member. This way we are to insure consistent yields on each and every harvest.

The High Lands CommunityReligion

All religions are tolerated and exist in harmony; atheism is not permitted since, if a man does not fear a god of some kind, he will commit evil acts and weaken the community.

Dear Abby, Two of my friends both like the same guy. The only problem is I really don’t want them to get hurt. Their both my best friends and I don’t want a guy to come between them. So what should I do?

The High Lands CommunityCrime and Punishment

On the Island we have no law enforcement or civil defenses. Any community member is free to at any time bring another community member before the entire community if they feel an injustice has been done to them. After being presented with the evidence the body of members will individually vote as to the outcome of the charges and to any punitive damages. Exile from the Island is the most severe punishment allowed.

The High Lands CommunitySurvival of the Fittest

With proceeds from harvest sales, community members are encouraged to invest their earnings in a tax free shelter with the First Bank of the Caymans. This way they will have the means to provide for their own senior care on the mainland. Community members are not allowed to stay on the island if they are incapable for caring for themselves or have no one to provide for them.
