Multi Entity Evolutionary World Preliminary Sketch 1

The inhabitants of the island - principally human characters, wer all 'cowboy' type charactyers that lived on Uncle Sam's Ranch, Ivan's Spread, John Bull's Place, and so on and interacted as (immature), gun toting and rapacious individuals in a metaphorical model of national entities in a world system...
