Work in Eastern Haane
-
Why work in Eastern Haane? To many of you, it may appear that it is poor and undeveloped; hardly a pleasant place to live. Yet in many ways, it is much better than the rest of Europe.
The cities are clean, quiet, and green, perched over expansive urban forests and gardens. Polluting cars are nowhere to be found, but public transportation is efficient and free.
Living spaces, while often small, are well-designed and modern, having been planned by the greatest of the modernist architects. All have expansive balconies, suitable for growing a small garden, each offering beautiful views of the greenery below or the sculpted glass and concrete buildings that dot the landscape.
Education is among the best in Europe, following an alternative but participatory model that prepares children for the world of Haanean democracy, which exists in almost every aspect of society - a sharp contrast to the representative democracies found in so many other countries.
Opportunities for bonding exist almost everywhere, from the syndical halls where workers gather to discuss various matters, from personal to political, to the national halls, known for their massive twice-yearly parties as well as the opportunities they provide for the purpose of language-learning. Even in your own housing complex will you meet many, for all must take an active role in managing the affairs of the building, through, yet again, the most developed of the participatory and deliberative democratic systems.
Cultural opportunities are everywhere; the government subsidizes the performing arts, allowing for the people to view the greatest of the musical suites, ballets, operas, and plays for little to no cost.
Work itself is enjoyable, for one is involved with the work of planning. There are no bosses in Eastern Haane; all are equal, and decide things in a democratic way.
You will also not be forced to do menial work, for nothing is menial in Eastern Haane. Even in agriculture and manufacturing everything is treated as something of an academic nature - to be discussed at long length, to be done with great curiosity and wonder, on which long papers are written.
The inhumanity of work in other countries is not present in Eastern Haane, for people are recognized as humans and not as machines. What you do is decided by yourself and none else.
While wages are not as high as in the rest of the world, one receives a great number of benefits - free food, free housing, free access to the internet, and so and so forth.
Positions in work related to the liberal arts, the social sciences, architecture, urban planning, and civil engineering are especially common, allowing the talented who would otherwise be ignored to truly rise.
