Sinopia Wises Up
On the other side of the ocean, the Sinopians were not nearly 
as enthusiastic about the senators’ plans. Things started to 
get a little unsettled when the workers got wind of how many 
more real fi sh they would be asked to devote to buying Fish 
Reserve Notes.
Most Sinopians were frustrated with working so hard and 
getting so little. Since their own government did not provide 
the social safety nets available in Usonia, the average 
Sinopian saved lots of money just so they would not be 
hutless and fi shless in old age. Everyone worked, no one had 
a donkey (let alone a cart), and hardly anyone surfed. Even if 
they did, they usually went four or fi ve to a board.
