November 2033

Cepero Sewer Treatment caught fire, the firefighters from Industri Zone Resque had a hard time quelling the fire. With helicopter support they finally managed to put it out in late November, without losing any lives. The nearby President Williams School was closed for several weeks, to avoid student inhaling the poisoned smoke spreading in the area.

 

Due to the fact that cigar production must be significantly reduced by the end of 2035, Bounty Cigar's Limited decided to sell their plantation at Maria Ruiz Road in Presidente Jakub District, to developer López Construction at North Harbor Road. The land is without doubt the best tobacco soil at Bounty Islands, but the land value is of course much higher, that their plantations in south district. The last harvest will be sold and the plantation demolished.

The main building dates back to late colonial era (approx. 1915). 

The roof have been renovated several times and some inner walls replaced, but all in all the building looks like it have done for more than 115 years.

Their daughter Mina died in the beginning of January 2023, the other twin Sena in April 2024, at the time it was seen as unknown viruses, with today’s knowledge it is fair to assume it was Isabella Drosophila Febris, in both cases. Two months prior to the death of Sena, in early February 2024 Dorthea gave birth to their son Klaus. At this point Uwe Hartmann had a well-paid job as researcher at Pablo Romero Biological Faculty and the family moved into the lower floor of a new mansions, recently constructed on Lumberjack Road in Mountain Village. In 2027 Dorthea quit her job at The Experiential Agricultural Institute, to get a more creative position at Maria Bird Gold & Jewelry.

Jane Sanz Family, April 2034 (part one)

Lucas Sanz was the husband of Josefa Sanz until her death in 1973, the father of her children Nora Lewandowski, Carlos Sanz and Laura Weber. After Josefa died, he married Yulia Sanz with whom he lived until her death in 1992. In 1997 he married then 33 years old Jane. He was unemployed and lived in her apartment. Jane gave birth to María Sanz in 1997. On paper 69 years old Lucas was the father although evil tongues suggest a secret lover was in the picture.  

Jane Sanz was born in October 1963, at Quarry Hill Flats, Leeds, UK. After disagreements with her parents, who disliked her “Punker” attitude, she traveled to Asia and later South America. Ending up at Bounty Islands in 1992, living as a plantation worker. As mentioned, she married and got a daughter, the marriage lasted three years until the death of Lucas Sanz in 2000. She met Allesandro D'Angelo in 2005 and moved into his apartment in a house at Plain Hamlet Road. Both working at S/L Shipping’s depot on Lucia Drive. In 2011 the couple moved to Moria Tower. Allesandro D'Angelo was unfaithful to Jane and she left him in 2016. Jane Sanz and her daughter moved back to the house in Plain Hamlet, owned by her old friend Thorsten Weber. María Sanz left her mothers home in 2017. In 2024 Jane started to date a co-worker at S/L Shipping, Dutch born Robbert Dijkstra. He moved in with her the following year and when Thorsten Weber died in 2026, they bought the house. For the first time in her live Jane found a man that she truly loved. Her only regret in life is, that she is now 70 years old and still haven’t got any grand-children.

Jane Sanz Family, April 2034 (part two)

María Sanz was born december 1997 in Lucia Clinic just across the street from her mother’s small and simple apartment at South Cepero Road. Although she doesn’t remember her father Lucas, she has always felt connected to the family, especially her "Aunt" Nora Lewandowski, who often took care of her as a child and her "Cousins" Mona and Dorthea with whom she still hold contact. Despite the fact that Allesandro D'Angelo was unfaithful towards Jane, he was very found of María and they kept a sort of farther daughter relationship until his sudden death in 2019. María Sanz did not get any 2^nd level education. In 2017, 19 years old, she took a job at Hoebeek Construction, making her able to afford her own small apartment in Fenna Tower. In October 2023 María gave birth to a daughter Mónica, the farther was unemployed Jacob Hughes from Somerset County, South West England. He did not want children. María was living as a single mother. Sadly the child died in 2026, the official cause of death was heart failure, but with today’s knowledge, we can assume she had Isabella Drosophila Febris. In 2027 María got a job at Cine De Loro. She found a small simple apartment at a nice small neighborhood next to Hotel America on Plantation Road. In fall 2033 María was offered a slightly better position at the Cepero Theater and moved to Cepero Island. Now living in an apartment just across the street from the cinema, next to Cepero Department Store. Impossible to find a much better location at Cepero Island, within her budget, close to the metro station and Cepero Park.

This year it will be 100 years since Sergio Navarro lead the construction of the “Gaia’s birth of Jesus” monument. Today he is often mentioned as Saint Sergio in the tourist pamphlets, although he is of course not officially a Saint. The religious importance of the monument and the "Order of Fen" have declined a lot over the latest 30-40 years, but they are an integrated part of Bounty folklore, not to mention the importance of the monument, chapels and unique nuns as tourist magnets.

Today more tourists than locals visit “Gaia’s birth of Jesus” and religious visionary Bella Esposito’s famous grave from 1943.

Ever since Carla García (Humanity First) became Traffic and Logistics Minister in 2032, she have worked for a smoother connection from the factories and mines at Plateau Village to the Trade Pier at Bounty Bay Harbor. Many roads have been build, demolished or rearranged, but most notably a tunnel connection from Plateau Village to Presidente Jakub District and a new road/bridge connection, following Bounty Bay, have dramatically shortened the distance.

Tunnel entry from Plateau Village

 

The memorial fountain in front of Maria Bird Gold & Jewelry, in memory of María Ruiz, was demolished in the process. It was a very controversial decision, met with protest from members of the union and many older citizens proud of the early history of their nation. María Ruiz was an important member of the “Distillery Workers Association”, she initiated the first free distillery in the colonial era and she was an important figure in formation of the post revolution Workers Union.

June 2035

The presidential speech, address the economical crisis of Bounty Island:

Dr. Carla Robinson:

“The worldwide inflation combined with the international restrictions upon Cigar and Tobacco export have put pressure on Bounty Islands economy. On top of that, most likely based on the high social welfare system of our nation, we can see that many important sectors need workers, while on the other hand, we got many unemployed citizens seemingly unwilling to take those jobs. We have also seen a drop in the purchasing power (*) of many people, as the salaries are not able to keep up with inflation. Our only weapon against this is to temporarily cut of expensive cost, by reducing lunch from 2 hour to 30 minutes (**), in combination with a tax on food sales (***), to generate some extra income for the nation, hopefully forcing some unemployed into the jobs market. We expect, these initiatives will lead to further growth and improved welfare for anyone, long term. Although it may seem hard for some families right now.”

Lena Navarro (Nationalist Action) comments: Oh yes, we definitely approve of these measures, we have always said that too many people, often immigrants, need more incentives to force them into the labor market, in stead of just reaping the social benefits without contributing anything. We would prefer rolling back social welfare benefits (****) all together, but it is a step in the right direction.

Alejandro Pérez (Green Revolution) comments: It is our worst nightmare come true, just what we feared from the new government. Guaranteed to work against CO2 reduction and at the same time further increasing the growing gap between the deprived families and the shameless rich.

It is businesses like Hotel America Burger, hopping the new political initiatives can help attract new workers, presently only able to get 25% of the workers they need.  

(*) A reduction in salary of many jobs effective from April 2035: Many uneducated reduced from about 10 to about 8 coins a month, a similar reduction in other sectors. 

(**) No mandatory siesta (***) No free lunch (****) Child Allowances & Social Security
