"Jade Island: where college is a breeze."

Jade Island is a friendly futuristic college town where the sun is always shining and the humidity is always at a perfect 0%, things are just the right price to fit into any college students budget, and students ride their pet dolphins to their 30 minute classes.

Location
Latitude: -29.286399 | Longitude: -177.978516

Jade Island is located somewhere in between New Zealand and Fiji, surrounded by nothing but crystal clear cool waters.

Citizenship
The population of Jade Island is based of the population of the college once known as Florida State University. It's known as the college island to everyone in the world, being the only college to relocate it's entire campus on an island in the history of school's. The islands citizenship consists of only students because professors who live on the campus get to live on their own private island away from student life.

History
Jade Vasquez, a junior attending Florida State University, was vacationing in Tauranga, New Zealand with her boyfriend in the late summer of 2014. On the morning of July 17, 2014, Jade decided to sneak out of the bungalow while her boyfriend played sound asleep to watch the beautiful sunrise. But being as she just wanted to have a peaceful morning Jade didn't check the weather which called for extreme storms. As she was already about 40 miles up the coast, the sky roared with thunder and lightning and a great overcast quickly covered the entire horizon. The winds immediately started to redirect the sail boat and Jade couldn't control what was happening. Then before she knew it there was great flash of light, she fell and she was knocked unconscious.

When she finally woke she saw the sun shining more than she had ever seen before and the most beautiful scenery her eyes had ever feasted on. She thought for sure that she had died and gone to heaven because the sights she was seeing were beyond compare to anything else. I turned out her ship had wrecked on an island surrounded by beautiful translucent cool water where she found nothing but gorgeous exotic wildlife, and foods. She was stranded on the island for 40 days and 40 nights until she was rescued. Jade survive those 40 days due to the indigenous people inhabiting the island at the time, a group of 50. They took her in with great pleasure and were very humble and kind. They knew all the islands secrets and what it had to offer. The one thing that they treasured the most was a huge stone that was located in the heart of the island that was as beautiful as the waters surrounding the island which they coincidently named the Jade stone. The people believed that the stone gave them love, inner peace, and harmony and celebrated the stone in a ceremony on the 4th day of every month.

Fortunately, Jade was found by her family and boyfriend who knew deep down in their souls that she was still alive and well after search parties had given up on her and was rescued from the island. But upon her graduation from Florida State University Jade returned to the island to find that it was deserted. Experts believe that the people suffered from some sort of plague and passed away due to the lack of medical knowledge and resources. Jade wept for her indigenous friends but her and her boyfriend decided to live on the island and keep their traditions alive. A couple of years later she got word that her beloved school Florida State University sank into an enormous sinkhole which crated a vortex and took the entire city of Tallahassee with it. Right when she heard this news she for some reason automatically thought of moving the entire campus onto the island. She thought this would prevent the island from becoming discovered and being used as a tourist attraction and would benefit all types of students who want to get an amazing college experience.

The communities and geography of Jade Island
Jade Island is an island that was found in the middle of New Zealand and Fiji. The island has special qualities that can't be found on any other island. Instead of being formed on a solid grounding the island was formed on what the indigenous people found to be a hollow platform. Because the bottom of the island was hollow they used it to their advantage, storing food and supplies that they needed. Today, the hollow part of the island is used as a student union for kids to go to and hangout at. It's a central part of campus that holds hangout areas, rec rooms, and convenient stores. You can also find the islands local UPS in the union.

As for the Professors who teach at Florida State University, they don't get the pleasure of living on Jade Island. They live on Chiefs Finding, an island half the size of Jade Island located right off the coast. It's a two minute boat ride from Chiefs to Jade and on Chiefs professors have everything they could ever wish for. They get to live peaceful lives with out the stress of seeing their students on the weekends and can actually have normal lives like they should. Chiefs has everything Jade Island does but is focused on catering to the need of more mature adults.
