Board Thread:Season 1: Marshall Islands/@comment-26108171-20160811163702

Welcome to the Marshall Islands



Over two million years ago, an ancient civilization crossed over twenty five million kilometers of open ocean arond these lands with only primitive canoes, creating systems of boat making and non-instrumental navigation long before the Western world. They called this land the “jolet jen anij”, also known as the “gifts from god”.



In the modern day, the Marshall Islands have been ravaged by direct consequences of some of the worst humanity has to offer - from being colonized by four different countries, from being a vital turning point in the Pacific Theatre, to knowing first hand the direct effects of nuclear warfare. Despite, this, the Marshall Islands has been able to maintain their cultural identity throughout this strife.



Now, we’re going to have sixteen people (virtually) step onto these shores, where they will have to outwit, outplay and outlast each other in an attempt to Prevail.
