Facts & History

sky-diver named Yggep Irousnam,
who Went off-course during a jump.
*He landed on the unclaimed
territory, explored the island which
was miles away from the Venezuela
coast & found no inhabitants.
*Yggep decided he would claim this
land for his own, make a new
country that’s based on peace &
serenity.
*He soon brought over people from his
Temple of Peace & Serenity where
he once lived in Southern Portugal.
*These were the first settlers of the new island of
Aquafina.
*Aquafina bases it’s beliefs & traditions on the
newly created philosophy of Yggep Irousnam
known as Aquaism.
*Aquafina is known as a widely popular tourism
country due to it’s beautiful atmosphere, calming
beaches & peaceful inhabitants.
*Much of the island will
remain untouched but
there will be many
developments made in the
coming years to promote
itself as an excellent place
of residence.
*Aquafina’s population is
rapidly growing as more
people are choosing to
move away from the chaotic city life (mostly senior
Citizens & newly-wed & married couples).
*Aquafina’s government is consistent in it’s attempt
to provide a democratic government with a
twist (think Monk ideals meets democratic ideals such
as freedom of speech, equality amongst all people of
the land, etc.
Political Philosophy
Aquafina’s political philosophy all derive from the beliefs of
it’s founder Yggep Iruosnam. Yggep believes everyone is
created equal we are all cut from the same cloth. We believe
living in peace is the only way of life & we strive to steer clear
of any means of war or injustice. Our philosophies on love
and nature all derive from our founder Yggep Iruosnam.
Yggep once said that in order to love each other, we must
love ourselves; this is indeed true. We allow our people to by
any means purify their minds, bodies & souls through yes,
it’s true, Tofu, Green Tea & meditation. Nature is our
sanctuary where we find peace of mind & our country is for
people of all races, religions & creeds. Our peoples main
objective is to steer clear of conflict and keep each other
happy. In order to give those who don’t live here a taste of
what it’s like here in Aquafina, we export our bottled fresh
water to many other countries. Coincidentally, we named
our product Aquafina. Here in Aquafina, we can guarantee
that everyone gets a good night’s sleep.

Aquafina’s President
Peggy Mansouri gained the trust of Aquafina’s people instantly. She proposed many
great things for the island & it’s people during her campaign. She promised that she
would maintain our ideal of a peaceful way of life and represent the founder, Mr. Yggep
in a respectable manner while upholding the beliefs of our founder Yggep Iruosnam. Our
new president promised unlimited Tofu and Green tea for all. She said she would do
what was necessary to maintain peace & common ground with all the countries of the
world in an attempt to help them think peace not war. Most importantly, she is a leader
who will surely represent Aquafina respectably & with peace in mind, keeping up the
traditions of our nation. Green Tea, anyone?

Aquafina’s Favorite Philosophers
Plato
(427-347 B.C.E.)
Guardian: consists of rulers and non-rulers. The rulers
are society’s policy makers, & the non-rulers are a
high level of civil servant. Auxiliaries: soldiers & minor
civil servants. Workers: composed of farmers and
artisans, commonly unskilled labourers.
“The safest characterization of the
European philosophical tradition is
that it consists of a series of
footnotes to Plato.” - Alfred North Whitehead
For Plato, making decisions about the right political
order are, along with the choice between peace &
war, the most important choices one can make in
politics. Such decisions cannot be left solely to public
opinion, he believes, which in many cases does not
have enough foresight & gets its lessons only post
factum from disasters recorded in history.

Hans J. Morgenthau
(1904-1980)
Born in Germany-received his university education in
Germany & practised law in Frankfurt -moved to the United
States in 193 –appointed to the University of Chicago. His
most famous work, Politics among Nations, was first
published in 1948.He presented his “six principles of political
realism”, which were his theory of international politics:
Tension exists between moral command and the requirements
of successful political action. Morality cannot be applied
universally in the abstract but must be filtered through the
circumstances of time and place.5. The moral aspirations of a
particular nation are not to be confused with the moral laws
that govern the universe.6. Intellectually, realism maintains the
autonomy of the political sphere, as economists, lawyers, or
doctors maintain theirs.
Aquaism
Micheal Jackson, feeling at ease
& “peaceful” after a brief stay
at the island of Aquafina.
Our ism is Aquaism. The root word of this ism is of
course aqua (also known as water). This wonderful gift
from nature is what Aquafina is surrounded by. Water
is the purest gift from nature & we feel that by
embracing nature for what it represents & how
beautiful it is, that we will be more peaceful, Not just
within ourselves, but within our community. Peace is
what drives the people of Aquafina & what holds it’s
tight knit
community together. Essentially, all of us come from
nature & by getting in touch with your roots & who you
really are, the meaning of life will become very crystal
clear. This “ism” derives from our love & respect for
nature. By being one with
nature & embracing it for all it entails you will find that
you will have a more peaceful & pleasant country.

Aquafina’s national flower…
isn’t it pretty?
The closest link “ism” that most
relates to our ism is Naturalism (defined as:
- ‘The system of thought holding that all
phenomena can be explained in terms of
natural causes and laws.’
-’Conduct or thought prompted by natural
desires or instincts.’
We believe that one’s nature desire is to be at
peace with oneself & others. Thus, the
concept of Naturalism can easily be related
to Aquaism. Many may feel that our “ism” &
our beliefs are not realistic or may even call it
unrealistic; but even skeptics of our beliefs
who have come to Aquafina have found their
“peace of mind” & gained solitude.
