PLUS the winners move to Otherville where they can have all the amenities of life. Then they develop a rudimentary monetary system with ex-Dharma paper-printed money based on the $8 million in diamonds our losties first banker ( Hurley) recovered. They establish a health care system (Jack), a program for the Arts (Charlie), a national park system and horticultural society (Sun), markets and trade begin to develop and fishing operations go commercial thereby creating jobs and income for some on the island (Jin),a police force is created for domestic tranquility (Kate), a sanitation department begun(Scott, and in a direct quote from Scott the motto of the sanitation department is established "Keep Creepy Island Beautiful"), and a national defense is established (Sayid). Sawyer is, of course, voted the leader of New Otherville, and with Locke by his side as game advisor, the residents of New Otherville move quickly and smoothly through all the forms of government mentioned in the game Civilization (despotism, monarchy, communism, democracy, republic)

`Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!'
