3 million people to evacuate, places for 1.5 million
2072The far futureDeadline · 90 days until the construction contract for the first settlement
A leap assumed
All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.
The question to decide
The highland settlement that 3 million people applied for can accommodate only 1.5 million. Those immediately at risk of flooding, the workforce needed to sustain long-term food supply, and interstate agreements each demand different priorities. Who gets a place first, and what next order of turns do we promise those who must wait?

The options
The order shown is not a ranking of preference.
The situation as it stands
Behind the construction contracts, the scale of the settlement sites and the basis of daily life are locked in to fit the first allocation principles.
Fictional intercontinental highland settlement accord
- Premise 1Different climate AIs have each designated the same highland area as their nation's long-term survival base, and the combined applicants are twice the host plan.
- Premise 2One state puts present flood exposure first, while another puts the staffing that sustains future food systems first as its priority criterion.
- Premise 3Host-region residents are demanding additional water resources, political representation, and property guarantees, and the construction contract has not yet been signed.
Where it holdsAgree on a ten-year settlement volume, shared funding, and priority admission rules. The land rights of host-region residents and the citizenship of member states cannot be disposed of wholesale.
What can be lost
- Irreversible loss of residence and life for those pushed behind in the allocation
- Harm that locks in the political rights and livelihood basis of host communities and migrants on a long-term unequal basis
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1Long-term water and food supply capacity of the host highland
- Unknown 2Whether differences between risk assessment models arise from real exposure or from policy values
Signals to decide again
- Independent due diligence finds that the water, food, and housing capacity of the settlement sites has changed.
- A member state or a host region halts compliance with the core funding and rights agreements.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
A joint survey finds that the water supply capacity of the settlement site is 25% lower than the initial plan.
One state notifies that it will link its promised funding contribution to priority admission for its own citizens.
