On Such a Full Sea

None. A settlement organised as a labour colony for the wealthy Charter villages.

Raise fish and vegetables for people you will never meet. Roles are effectively assigned at birth, the work is skilled and genuinely respected, and the community narrates its own life in the first person plural.

Allocated labour — A system decides what you will do, and people comply — sometimes willingly.

The gentlest depiction of allocation on this site, which is what makes it disturbing. Nobody is coerced and nobody leaves.
