The planet is broken up into tw o things. Second \, The Urban Commands\, self isolating city states\, born from a heritage of surviving the ever mutating virus with walls plus fire plus suits. They are self sufficient in purpose\, socialist in racial ran king \, militaristic in communal structure\,  merit based in human relati onship. Consummation has a space\, Leaders have a space\, everywhere else are barracks. All children\, Initiates\, are raised together. All Initiate s get a rearing to gain at least one Utility. A communal structure maintai ned out of successful habit.  First\, The Untouchable World\, the lush fe rtile lands or seas or skies the Urban Commands are dotted in. Where few a re mysterious figures who are only known through legends or myths or gossi p to Urbaners or Untouchables. Where most are Untouchables\, the descendan ts of species infected by the virus who gained herd immunity but can still spread it with a touch. Most Untouchables live unknown to the Urbaners. A few Untouchables from plants to insects live just beyond the walls of Urb an Commands are flow seasonally to said walls.  In this landscape exist U rban Command 259 whose comrades have to maintain their growing city\, cont inue their way of life\, defend from the seasonal threats in the Untouchab le World.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n referral to contest\n\n https://www.deviantar t.com/drthomasstockmann/journal/Writing-Challenge-Part-1-World-Building-12 04683561\n\n\n\n forum post\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11724-a-sto ry-for-aalbc-part-1/\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n FOR Black Artist Of Tumblr\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n SETTING\n\n It is 1960's Harlem(Black Mecca)\, New York City. Most businesses in the Black Mecca are white owned. Adam Clayton Powell jr will lead protests to get them to hire black people. Robert F Wagner jr e nded Tammany Hall's dominance over the city\, Lindsey would witness the mu rder of Malcolm + MLK . The Five Families had ten years before the RICO ac t to run the underworld absent federal intervention. Johnson and Johnson i n New Jersey and Pfizer downtown Manhattan dominate the pharmaceutical ind ustry. But\, a drug has arrived from the underworld of Harlem that has bec ome the drug of choice in the city\,generating growing number of tourist. Rich or poor\, black or white\, twenty somethings or silverhaired\, love t he drug. The Black Drug Dealers who produce it want to keep the business\, but they don't have the resources to expand it. Their local rivals want t o help them lose it\, but can't afford to sell out. The government through the NYPD wants a bigger cut of the profits\, but has to keep it away from the courts. The mob wants to manage its operation\, but the family that c ontrols the region hasn't been able to uncover the operation even through bloody means. The pharmaceuticals want to know everything about it\, and a re willing to spend untold sums to get any services needed to accomplish t heir task. Those who created the drug want to disconnect the trail to them and remain anonymous\, but have to risk being exposed to do so. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n referral to contest\n\n https://www.deviantart.com/drthomassto ckmann/journal/Writing-Challenge-Part-1-World-Building-1204683561\n\n\n\n Community Post\n\n https://www.tumblr.com/communities/black-artist-on-tjam bler/post/788894036062879745/a-story-for-black-artist-of-tumblr?source=sha re\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n FOR MidnightHour\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n SETTING\n\n The house of representative floor of the USA. The president of the USA will ma ke a speech\, interrupted. \n\n Then a dancer will introduce a film the h ouse will watch. The film will play. \n\n The film involves a chivalric v ariation of modernity where Burlesque performers battle each other for the votes of the people among two competing crowds. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n refe rral to contest\n\n https://www.deviantart.com/drthomasstockmann/journal/W riting-Challenge-Part-1-World-Building-1204683561\n\n\n\n Community Post\n \n https://www.tumblr.com/communities/midnight-hour/post/78889436353514700 8/a-story-for-midnighthour?source=share\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n FOR Film Noir P igeons\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n SETTING\n\n The technological capability of mach ines led to the USA providing Universal Basic Income (UBI) to maintain fin ancial balance with the new technology. China followed. Nuclear Powers: US A/China/Russia/England/India/Pakistan/Israel/North Korea and the European Union(EU) all became founding signatories to the Second Non Proliferation Treaty (SNPT). \n\n The treaty: allow only the nine nuclear powers[ Franc e through the EU] the ability to have UBI\, \n\n demand the EU put an int erminable block on new membership\, \n\n make immigration to or fro plus cryptocurrency activity in the nine founding signatories illegal\, \n\n d emand all non founding signatories make UBI illegal in their law\,  \n\n accept cryptocurrencies only if pegged to the USA dollar or Chinese Renmin bi\, \n\n demand any and all accepted cryptocurrencies are legal to signa tories who are not founding signatories\,\n\n NYC+ Hong Kong became the on ly two cities in the world where legal cryptocurrencies by the SNPT can be converted into a currency\, no other cities are allowed. Hong Kong can on ly do Renminbi while NYC can only do US Dollars. Mexico/Saudi Arabia/Singa pore/Brazil all became signatories followed by most governments barring Cu ba/South Sudan/East Timor. In the founding states\, people no longer have to work\, real estate/utilities/food are stabilized plus affordable\, heal thcare is universal.  Government Agent/Athlete/Prostitution/Scholars (The GAPS) are the only official human professions left. In the second signer states\, a complex web of cryptomarkets replaced all stock or bond or futu res markets. Resources or fortunes are won or lost every second. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n referral to contest\n\n https://www.deviantart.com/drthomassto ckmann/journal/Writing-Challenge-Part-1-World-Building-1204683561\n\n\n\n Community Post\n\n https://www.tumblr.com/communities/filmnoirpigeons/post /788894707885473792/a-story-for-film-noir-pigeons?source=share\n\n\n\n  \ n\n\n\n Part 1\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/403-community-sto ries-001-part-1/\n\n\n\n Part 2\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/ 407-community-stories-001-part-2/\n\n\n\n part 3\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/ events/event/408-community-stories-001-part-3/\n\n\n\n  \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250712 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
