This is my first city journal and entry so be polite with me please!! (Attention: Philia in Greek means friendship, φιλος-φιλια, philos-philia . Agrophilia is also used in political economy and sustainabile accounting. Its not only agro-economy but a political-economic system. By any means I didn't refer to any sexual arousal neither mental or psychological illnesses) Part 1: The founders. ''Agrophilia is not only a region. Agrophilia is a very way of life'' (Ruralson R., 3rd year Ab urbe condita) Once upon a time, three statesmen formed a regional state with the Queen's approval in a blessed land. They chose the name Agrophilia based on an ancient language with a dual meaning. Agrophilia means ''the friend of agriculture''. However, it means a way of life-related to the environment, sustainability and social interaction between the rural and the urban development. Sir Richards Ruralson, Dr. Cornelius Beancounter and Mr. MacPolitics shared a common inspiration. To make a sustainable economy attached to the joy of the rural life. To make a delicate use of land and to promote agro-economy, to develop new technologies, a new political system and a beautiful place for citizens to live. Kings Town (pic:10th year Ab urbe condita) Part 2: Investing on education. The foundation of Blackwell Academy The very first thing they realized was the need of a new educational system. A system which could introduce the love for nature and mother Gaia and the wealth by investing in the agriculture and the symbolic capital*. Firstly, they established the Blackwell Academy. The very first modules were agricultural technics, basic agro-economics, sustainable accounting and political theory. Part 3: The Longest Journey The second step was to establish the base of the town's economy. So, they travelled around the county to find a suitable spot for new farmlands and a new town. They spotted a place in which a poet once wrote: ''Oh Titan Gaia, your body is so lustful for man's hoe.'Your heart a vault with plethora of resources. But the Suns' children are shy and blind. For not, settling your plentiful hug. Your sweat of love forms rivers. Your sweet smile is mirrored upon the beauty of the area'' When they spotted the right place they found Kings Town. Part 4: The Kings Town They tried to attract citizens from neighboring cities by providing free land declarations to the new citizens. The newcomers had the chance to retrained in the Blackwell Academy and then to work on their fields, manufacturing, services or selling high-quality agricultural products to nearby regions. In order to make people love their new town, the founders decided to establish a new way of self-governance. They formed the Greater and Lesser assembly to hold in account the governmental stewards. The Greater Assembly was based only on producers and farmers. They had a binding vote over laws for or against. The Lesser Assembly formed by even children with a voting right for every matter from schools to economic strategy of the town. They also build a delicate red townhall, a courthouse, a clock tower, the patrons' saint church, the central train station and the first water tower. The town grew fast and more and more citizens populated the town developing both the fields and the commercial areas. They also build a small farmers market next to the town center providing healthy and tasty products. -symbolic capital: Tangible and Intangible assets produced by the landmarks, terrains' morphology, indigenous products, level of environmental attractiveness, local customs, ethos and human activity.
