It’s a quiet evening some days after the 92nd trade period closure and the official win of the first spanish speaking trader in the Federation. Everyone on the small island is at alfondo’s beach house celebrating his triumph. Government leadership and local entrepreneurs are all rejoicing for Ibisha’s success. One of the people that made sure everyone noticed him was martijn5 with his trademark slogan “I love money” and handing out business cards for his chip empire. Others like Bruja, The Great and geronimus were discussing how the new automobile business has made their lifestyle easier and were racing each other down the beach front’s street toward the National Harbor. There you could still see R3knowAL carrying his trademark bulletproof vest and single-shot diamond plated guns on his waist inspecting the ships for criminals and sabotage. All people celebrating, old faces or new, have one thing in common which is cooperativism.
President marcelbuter continued with the islands financial trends while creating new fiscal measures that ensured everyone had a successful trade period. These measures along with the good hearted cooperativism go with the socialist democracy model that plays a vital role on how things are done in Ibisha. Each trade period government and trade products are discussed practically by each citizen in a private building near the Ibishan gold mines. Here everyone discusses what needs to be done, who would be a good candidate for presidency and how products need to be done for the well being of the island. This may sound normal to some citizens of other countries but the harmony in which the ibishan cooperativism works has been surprising for many rounds and has impacted many foreign traders. No matter if you are trading iron or screwdrivers you are seen as an important part that moves Ibisha and that creates a good bond between traders that reduces competition and promotes brotherhood and trade volume for all. This philosophy has brought foreign traders for one or two periods to see and feel what trading in Ibisha is. It has helped grow the island with clever and helpful traders that contribute to the economy instead of taking what they can. So far it has worked and some could argue that it may not last for long but as long as Ibisha has the dedicated people it has had for the past eleven periods it will still grow step by step to be a fun place to live.
