Humanity v1.0 “Kullen”
Across Europe. The first culture, wealth and emissions layers, and the UK as four nations.
Across Europe
Kullen took the Landsort approach across Europe: 38 countries, 299 regions, about 500 million people in 220 million households. A person now carried 137 attributes, and households got a record of their own with 76 more.
New in Kullen
- Cultural identity: origin, migration background, religion, language and the calendar a household lives by.
- Occupation and industry for every working person.
- Income after tax, with each country's own tax rules applied.
- Household wealth and debt: property, financial assets and mortgages.
- A spend ledger and a carbon footprint for every household.
- Micro-zones for the whole continent, at the same grain from Lisbon to Tromsø.
- Zones that respect water. A lake, a river or a strait separates two neighbourhoods in the model as it does on the ground, so a catchment never reaches across a bay.
- The UK modelled as four nations: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Kullen sits on the cliffs of Kullaberg in Skåne, where a light has guided ships through the Öresund approaches since the 1500s. Its beam is the strongest in Scandinavia and can be seen from Denmark.
