Paradise Island - Part 1

Paradise Island is situated in the tropics, set in a deep lagoon, 
surrounded by treachtorous reef which means no ships or boats can 
land. The Airport is the only means of access.

There is no cash on the Island. All citizens have a micro chip 
inserted under the skin, in the wrist just above the right hand. 
When you wish to purchase anything your wrist is scanned at the 
checkout.

This is also used to track the citizens, so the central computer 
knows who enters what premises and when. Crimes of theft therefore 
are unheard of and most people don't bother locking any doors.

All their payments are handled by the computer, which also controls 
their bank account.

Holiday makers, on arrival at the Islands Airport register their 
credit cards, travellers cheques or cash they have brought with 
them and are issued with a micro chip which is worn around their 
necks. The computer then charges their purchases to the appropriate 
form of payment.

There is no income tax, property tax or inheritance tax, only a 
small sales tax, which generates enough income to run the 
government.

Beaches surround the Island and there are many hotels, apartments, 
villa, bars and restaurants.

It welcomes all visitors and offers citizenship to anyone over 14 - 
at a price!

Teenagers, once they have reached 14, can opt to become 'Full 
Citizens', they can delay this until the age of 21, although most 
don't. Also anyone coming to work on the Island for a period of 
more than three weeks has to take out citizenship.

Advantages of becoming citizens are that citizen of any age over 14 
have full adult rights, they can drive, vote in elections, drink 
alcohol etc. Now you are begining to see the attraction of young 
visitors (ie under 18) becoming citizens.

As mentioned earlier there is a price to pay - anyone wishing to 
become a citizen has to go through a public ceremony held at noon 
every day (and shown live on local television).

First all clothes are removed, then the clippers come out and ALL 
hair is shaved off, head, face, eyebrows, body, pubic area. The 
hair comes off, first with the clippers then the candidaites are 
lathed up and shaved smooth. 

Oh yes I forgot to mention that the clever scientists who invented 
the micro chips also foud a frequency instructs the brain to 
prevent any hair regrowing, transmitters around the Island keep the 
signal active. When people leave the Island, hair growth starts 
again normally.

Now comes the painfull bit, all candidates are circumcised, males 
the foreskin of the penis and females the foreskin of the clitoris. 
Those who have been circumcised before have it done again, just a 
bit tighter. A special laser scapel is used to maximise pain and 
seal the wound instantly. Then the micro chip is inserted in their 
wrist.

Even with this price to pay the islands was becoming increasing 
popular with the 14 - 18's as a holiday destination. (Visitors 
under 21 are not allowed to drink alcohol, drive a car, gamble in 
the Casino etc - Of course the card around their neck indentifies 
their age!)

The authorities deceided to put the price higher, the computer 
would 'randomly' select a candidate for additional surgery! The 
additional items are : removal of penis  head or clitoris head, 
total penectomy or clitorectomy, castration of a male, total 
nullification, male or female. With the most severe of these, the 
new technology they have found meant that the candidate didn't miss 
more than a couple of hours of their holiday.

What visitors don't know is that it is not that random, there will 
be at least one of each of these at every session, but never on 
a 'local' - that is someone who lived on the island before they 
were 14.

home for the first time.
