The Narrows are the only naval passage into and out of Rilao. As such, they feature a large array of protective and naval terraformed structures, functioning as port and customs for the archipelago. Aggressive terraforming began in the 1940s, repurposing old shipwrecks and oil derricks and expanding to include new muka oil refining structures as well as naval military structures to protect the island from the outside world and enforce the quarantine. Government-funded privateers hold a disproportionate amount of power in the Narrows, and their influence on the ruling classes allows them to push the boundaries of the quarantine, engaging in black market traffic with small islands around the archipelago. The only power that can stand up to them are neighborhood councils, which try to repurpose the space of the Narrows for public interest.
the population explosion created fierce fighting for land titles and grandparents were often murdered. suicide jack created a casino to gamefy the murders while taking a cut murders done by jacks crew were often ruled suicides by the media he controls

A biological weapon is an experimental virus created by those in government who want to rid Rilao of those who want to live a simpler, natural life. It was weaponized and ready to deploy.

Zoos, underfunded, decide to run secret betting rings where modified alpacas are raced on zip lines. The alpacas are also used in the transportation of goods.
Pictured here are the 3 leading zip line, race Alpacas of Rilao. Brainpaca is the finicky-speed demon. 3 Pink is very attuned with his zip line and knows the proper moment when to weave and turn. Marakihau is the crowd favorite, but has lagged behind lately due to a recent snout injury.

An .stl of the alpaca is available via the dropbox link for 3D printing.
This travel bopok is more inspired by Rilao’s virtual representations of other countries than by actual facts. It reflects the lack of communication with the outside world that Rilaoans had for centuries and that persist to the present. It depicts Africa as one giant country inhabited by one ruling tribe and the United States as a snowy wasteland.

The final project ended up being more of a positive viewbook about the Narrows district
win the sweepstakes, drink the death brew, die and live on in the markihaui show.

Dear guests!!! > Welcome to Rilao national Sport > a ALPACA ZipLine Race (TM)
Specially genetically bred for Rilao these Alpacas are Speed Junkies. Since 2014, network of ziplines grew ever more now reaching about 55% percent of Rilao archipelago.
It is the only infrastructure on the island with 100% approval by all.
Winner Alpacas are worshiped and considered a national treasure. There is whole department at Rilao academy dedicated to designing most aerodynamic capsules and prosthesis for optimal performance.
In past few years there were rumors of ZipLine Race (TM) Inc. involved in rather nasty revelations about drug smuggling ring among the archipelago islands (and outside)… but spokeperson at ZipLine (TM) denies any such allegations.

While the tradition of Alpaca racing was started for underground betting, it quickly became a new channel for smuggling goods in and out of Rilao. Designer drugs from the island were sewn into the branded racing jerseys that the Alpacas wore and handed off to smugglers who transported them out of the island. These are the racing jerseys and brands of the top 3 racing alpacas of Rilao.

These tools capture the neural signature of dying patients so key life moments can be stored and repurposed from dead loved ones. Lessons from this tool would later be used to blend the material and spiritual world.

A USB Drive in the shape of a coral contains all the knowledge from the future – the year 2035… but it will take some effort to decode it. Meanwhile, online conspiracy theorist Edward Rilaoden is already starting to rally Rilaoans around him, using the flash drive as an entry point into government conspiracies. Take a look at his twitter feed @rilaoden !

“The Monster from the tele nova series is remotely based on a character from Riloan mythology known as the “God in the Alcove.”
The “God” was jailed saint, who imprisoned “itself” as a means to prophesies that isolation would be the best means to not get to plague.”
