New Guinea

thesis
New Guinea is in danger of collapsing because of three reasons; New Guinean citizens were stuck in a ponzi scheme, highland citizens were not contributing to the society, and the geography lay out of the crops.
The Ponzi Scheme
Highland Citizens
The citizens who lived in the highlands of New Guinea did not contribute to the rest of the society. Before when New Guinea started, they lived sustainably for about 46,000 years, but the citizens in the highlands sort of “dropped out” of New Guinean society starting their own way of life. They would not give money to the economy causing a fall in significance in the society. They wouldn’t trade often with the other citizens, only if they got items back for a higher status and worth. The highlanders lived in huts, were always at war with each other, had no kings or even chiefs running the whole system, had no source of writing and war little to no clothing in extreme temperatures. They also had lacked tools made of metal. This caused trouble in New Guinea because these citizens were always causing chaos in the area and making New Guinea not a safe place to live.
