Koobecaf The Koobecaf nation as young as it is has already had a profound impact on us here in America. Now many of us Americans have herd rumors and whispers about this Koobecaf nation and for this very reason I have visited this nation to see what makes it so unique. I am going to tackle this nation in three basic overviews: Infrastructure, Social Structure, and their Super Structure. The Infrastructure of the Koobecaf nation is a very unique. There economic system is one of trade and gifts bought from the Koobecaf chamber of comers. Koobecafers can put items up in public trade house with enticing messages to try to get other Koobecafers to buy their old stuff. Now unlike our American system, there is no oversight or rules to the trading system and yet it continues to operate just fine unlike our struggling economy. This trade system is rather new because of the constant advances in technology. The Nation of Koobecaf was only founded on February 4, 2004. Yet it has already has gone through 4 governing bodies and grown its population into the millions. Now that might sound odd to us here in America, but most Koobecafers have supported and push for these new governments. And these governments have only been possible with the evolution of technology to allow for new “business.” Now the most unique opportunity the Koobecaf government and their technology have brought us is the ability to read the minds of other Koobecafers. Now each Koobecafer does have some say to what other Koobecafers see and if they want other Koobecaf districts to see them as well. Never the less it is a very interesting concept. Being able to read the mines of Koobecafers due to the great technological advances also gives us a great insight to the social structure of this unique nation. The first point I would like to hit on is the aspect of relationships and mating. A common practice in Koobecaf that most Americans would object to is “stalking”. Because of this, statuses have become very important in the Koobecaf society. And this is no truer then in the relationship status. Now “stalking” serves more than a purpose to find a mate, it also allows Koobecafers to connect and find each other. Many times Koobecafers are not even aware of each other until one finds another through their “stalking” methods. Many Koobecafers create their own tribes within their own districts. These tribes allow Koobecafers to join together at more personal level. These tribes are sometimes very serious and try to get work done, and yet some tribes I observed seem to have no point at all. Needless to say these tribes do affect what the average Koobecafer believes which leads me into my final point, the Koobecaf Superstructure. For those who do not know, the superstructure is defined by what the Koobecafers believe, their ideas, and what makes them tic. Now the Koobecaf nation, like America, has many different beliefs and religious structure. It did not surprise me to see new religions to even pop up daily. Many different tribes support these many different religions. I can guarantee you that any religion that we have herd about in America, the Koobecaf nation has, and many we have not herd about as well. With all these different views and beliefs peer pressure is a very common Practice in the Koobecaf nation. Tribes and Koobecafers are always trying to convince you that they know they have the correct point of view on the Nation and the world. Many times in my visit I would just get sick of hearing this. Individuality is also highly regarded in the Koobecaf nation. Many Koobecafers will join tribes to show their individualism and customize their life with many different “businesses.” All in all, the Koobecaf nation is one that is still evolving and I believe that it will continue to impact us in America. The economy is growing and may eventually become a world economic power. The social structure might seem to be a bit odd to us, but yet it works. It will be interesting so see how this nation will influence world as time goes on.
