Phase 1- Planning: Knowledge is power

Knowledge is power

Before anything is done all possible information should be gathered and correlated. Planning for the potential colony must be conducted rationally and should include following factors.

1. Demographic Information

· Population density

· Ethnicity

· Nationalism/Tribalism/Religiosity

· Wealth

· Education

2. Resources – both proven and suspected

· What

· How much

· Value

· Accessibility

· Current industries

· Is the area generally capable of self sustaining production? *

*NB* the colony will most likely have to begin secretly and afterward may have to operate without overt external support for quite some time to get politically/ economically established or it may be blockaded politically or militarily by the established State or regional players.

3. Access

· Bordering States?

· Landlocked or Ocean accessible?

· Transportation Routes?

· How isolated is it?

· Trade markets?

4. Security

· Is it defensible

· Regional stability

· Realistic assessment of OPFOR Capabilities

· Preexisting conflicts

5. Climate
