Hype for the Future 47C: Head of State in the Commonwealth of Nations

Even though the Commonwealth of Nations is comprised of around 56 independent member states, only 15 of the sovereign states have the Head of the Commonwealth as the Head of State. The nations in question are known as Commonwealth realms and include Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬, Australia 🇦🇺, the Bahamas 🇧🇸, Belize 🇧🇿, Canada 🇨🇦, Grenada 🇬🇩, Jamaica 🇯🇲, New Zealand 🇳🇿, Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, Saint Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳, Saint Lucia 🇱🇨, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨, the Solomon Islands 🇸🇧, Tuvalu 🇹🇻, and, of course, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.

Even within the sovereignty of the United Kingdom, fourteen overseas territories continue to be claimed, including Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Anguilla 🇦🇮, Bermuda 🇧🇲, the British Antarctic Territory, the British Indian Ocean Territory 🇮🇴, the British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬, the Cayman Islands 🇰🇾, the Falkland Islands 🇫🇰, Gibraltar 🇬🇮, Montserrat 🇲🇸, the Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands 🇬🇸, the Turks and Caicos Islands 🇹🇨, and the combined overseas territory of Saint Helena 🇸🇭, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha.

Hype for the Future 28C: Building an Identity on Travel and Events

geoTopFlex vs futoTopFlex

In the past, novaTopFlex had identified numerous travel and cultural opportunities under the banner “futoTopFlex.” In the near future, the novaTop Identity shall research potential opportunities to identify different “catchment area” zones for different major and perhaps even minor events in the community. When referring to “catchment areas” for different types of events, applications utilizing QGIS and/or OpenStreetMap data shall be redesignated geoTop content and shall rescind the futoTop (or futaTop) designation as a consequence.

Catchment Areas?

Technically, the term “catchment area” is a concept and refers to geographic regions of attendance of publicly-accessible events. The concept of a “catchment area” is often distinct from other concepts, such as legal and administrative boundaries that are often set harder. Therefore, while attendance zones and districts can–and often do–have boundaries, catchment areas often transcend such boundaries (with the most obvious of exceptions being areas along international border zones).

The Historical Interest

What historical event fascinates you the most?

Of all the possible historical events, the Seneca Falls Convention is what fascinates me the most, because of the connections between Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and the Declaration of Sentiments. Though I believe in equality between the sexes, I also expand on this framework in my everyday lifestyle, preferring “they/them” in cases of ambiguity while also avoiding the use of pronouns outside of the Daily Prompts entirely.
