Plastic

We spent all this time in the Old World going on and on and on about how our waste was going to kill everything at sea, and ironically, here we have a group of people who live on a floating mass of our plastic waste. No real point to be made, I just get a chuckle out of it.

Plastic is a village upon a floating mass of waste plastics from the Old World. The island floats along the sea currents, making trade with the ports it travels near and making a living off the seas.

Sea Current Path

The sea currents that the island follows loop from the western Draconian coast south to the Sea of Thieves, then turns west until it reaches Bastion, where it loops north into The Desolation Zone and turns east before entering the ash cloud.

Demographics

There's no set pattern to the population of the island, as they are likely mostly those marooned at sea, and those who joined out of wanderlust from The West. Traders from the island have been everything from Naja to Desolate, even a Dragon makes up their population.

Government

The island appears to be led by a single leader, likely chosen by the people to represent them. The government overall seems very loose and flexible to change, likely due to the small population.

Defences

The island is very difficult to climb from anywhere but the docking areas, and most of the island has palisade spikes protruding outward to discourage pirates.

Reportedly, the island has a small store of rifles and ammunition for when they pass through the Sea of Thieves, but only enough to fight off a single attack and not for any kind of daily use.

Industry & Trade

The island is primarily concerned with fishing, and as such will export their more exotic catches and bones when they float near land.

Imports are mostly materials for repairs and construction, as well as food from inland and the occaisional weaponry.

Infrastructure

The village is built upon a tangled mass of Old World waste plastics, using drift materials in much of the island's construction. Pipes bought from land or salvaged make up the island's plumping, and fish bones are used heavily in all construction.

Leathers are regularly bought from land to patch and repair walls and cielings. Areas with heavy metal production may be traded with for sheet metal to build new walls.

Assets

Plastic has a small fleet of boats for fishing and trade, likely numbered around 15 boats.
