Quokka

Quokka is the Capital City of the Holoholona Region; and serves as the only "official" passage across the mountains that splits the region.

Living here is perfect. There is no struggle or strife. I love living in a place that is like one giant family. -Editor of the Squeaking Quokka

Holoholona's Seat of Government

Quokka is considered a direct extension of the ruling Government of Huggleland. Within its walls, the council of Quokka has eyes and ears on everyone and everything to "ensure happiness and equality for all citizens." Even the capital's periodical, the Squeaking Quokka, is monitored "for accuracy,never censorship." To ensure everything is kept in balance, the council of Quokka is comprised of individuals who are selected as leaders within their respected vocational guilds. Council members must also be some born and raised in Quokka to ensure "the heart of Quokka is maintained.

Guilds of Quokka

The guilds of Quokka were established long before anyone currently living can remember. The guilds are comprised of the Merchant, Artisan, Fine Art, Academia, Military, Agriculture, and Support guilds. Every family is assigned a guild upon becoming a part of the city and all children are raised accordingly. If a child reaches maturity and does not meet the ideals of their birth given guild, or if they fit another guild better, a "correction ceremony" is carried out by the council members to successfully transfer that citizen from one guild to another. They provide any support needed for the transfer and the citizen being transferred is considered a hero for eliminating their shortcomings from their original guild and enhancing their new guild.

The City of Passage

Quokka is the only official passage through the mountains that divide the region. It's high walls, are meant to stand out visually among the mountain range from exceedingly far distances. While entering the city is fairly easy, being allowed to leave out the other side, is much more difficult. All wishing passage must either have the correct pre-approved seals or, plead their case for approval from the council. Quokka's natural born citizens may come and go as they please once they are awarded a "seal of Quokka." Families of council members are automatically given these seals at birth. Anyone caught trying to circumvent the appropriate channels are detained for however long the council deems acceptable.

Shaping Young Minds

In Quooka, all children are guaranteed to an education suited to their families' guild. They are also taught basic life skills, and most importantly, how to be the perfect citizen. Children are taught in their centralized guild hall. They are encouraged to help each other and work as one unit on all tasks. Children that show leadership and talent for their craft are often asked to help mentor other students that are not as advanced in their studies. These children mentors are often rewarded for success with privileges and gifts for their family. They are also on the short list of candidates if a role opens up that does not have an apparent successor. Teachers are held in high regard by the city and children are expected to show them the same respect they would a family elder.

Celebrating as One

In Quokka, all celebrations are celebrated together. A new baby, a wedding, and even coming of age, is celebrated by the entire guild. There are also annual holidays in Quokka to celebrate various milestones and achievements as one city. The most popular celebration, the Quokka STAMPD Festival, draws citizens from all over Huggleland. It allows Quokka to show off not only the skills and intellect of its citizens but its unity. Citizens are often reminded, it is not about conformity, it is about uniting as one.
