Købenjord Five Pillars of Society
Geography
Geography can be a pro and a con.
PRO
You can have a military advantage if you are up on a hill, for example.
If you have fertile land, you can grow crops, farm, and raise farm animals.
If you live on a flat land with a decent amount of trees, a river or lake and maybe some mountains, it is easy to move around and build a settlement as well as the fact that you have enough materials to survive around you and you have good land to farm on.
CON
You can have a military disadvantage if you live in a valley, or in a canyon because the enemy can attack you going downhill.
If you don't have fertile land, you have to rely on hunting and gathering which is hard to survive on.
If you have a very hilly land with not a lot of trees or rivers or lakes, it is hard to live and farm as well as set up a settlement, and travelling is hard because you would be going up and down hills and mountains.
If your society is near geographical landmarks that are dangerous such as volcanoes or rift valleys.
Politics
Politics and the power associated with it can be easily abused.
Conflict
Conflict is not the best way to solve crisis' and they are also not the easiest and most cost effective way.
It is not the best way to solve issues because they result in people getting more hurt, and then making the crisis worse.
When there is a crisis it is much more effective to give help to others, and then form alliances with them because you can use those alliances during conflict later.
Conflict is not cost effective at all because of the resources used on the soldiers and transport. You also have to deal with the human cost of war which can mean that a lot of your people die, leaving you vulnerable for another attack even if you win.
Law
Having laws in your society is important to keep everything together including order.
If you don't have laws, then your society can turn against you, and they can become violent and a huge mess.
Having laws also helps you keep order to your society. With laws, there are a clean set of rules that everyone must follow.
Having a proper system in place with people to interpret the law is also important to keep order and make everything fair.
Econmics
Economics are extremely important in a society, but only once the society is settled down and steady.
Economics can help you gain more resources because if you trade with other societies, you can gain more resources that you need. This is helpful if you are in a deficit of something and you need it to survive.
Economics are important to a society because if you don't have a steady economy, then you don't have a strong way to trade and handle resources.
Economics are important because they are a way to handle resources, and to implement trade into your societies life. Economics also help you gain more resources.
