	The first generation did well. Requirements to join the colony were that an individual be under the age of thirty, with either an academy or university education, and that they agree to abide by the rules. A large number of writers, painters, and other ~~artisans~~ were admitted, and over their lifetimes produced some truly remarkable work. Their children, however, were surprisingly unremarkable.

	Eutra Colony was an experimental prototype community constructed by the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]]. ~~THe~~ theory was that if you created an environment in which all of a person's physical and emotional needs were easily met, they could be free to focus on enriching themselves and others. Supposedly, in the Eutra environment, the population could produce the finest artists, scholars, and scientists.

	The fifth generation saw a massive increase in vandalism. Only nine percent of students born into this generation completed their primary education, and a few did not even attend past the first handful of years. The colony had broken into shambles, as dozens of young arsonists set about destroying everything they could. These youths were, of course, removed, but the trend had been started.

	It was while the fifth-generation was entering adulthood and trying to burn the colony to the ground that one of its most prominent alumni was killed in a battle with the [[Crimson Blade]]. In over a hundred years, the most noteworthy individual to come out of the colony was [[Joseph Manse]], who was dismissed as a young man, exiled from the Foundation, and ~~spent some~~ forty years orchestrated a massive (though unsuccessful) attack on the scientific conferences at [[Gleskel Core]].

	The third generation showed a marked decline. It consisted primarily of the children of second-generation residents who had never attended higher education. While there were still many artists, the general quality of artwork had decreased substantially (the first generation included some of the finest painters of the time, while the third had a lot of "modern art"). Literacy rates were high, but while previous generations saw a large number of novelists and other wordsmiths producing some truly impressive work, the third generation was mostly poets of varying ability, the best of which were ~~still poets~~.

Literacy rates were high, but while previous generations saw a large number of novelists and other wordsmiths producing some truly impressive work, the third generation was mostly poets of varying ability, the best of which could not write anything else, and were best described as 'incompetent'.

	~~As for~~ science and technology, there was no innovation to speak of. Many of the second generation did go on to work in those fields, and the colony was filled with self-styled "inventors", but no one had much drive or the talent, skill, knowledge, etc. ~~required~~ to produce anything truly useful.

Many of the second generation did go on to work in those fields, and the colony was filled with self-styled "inventors", but no one had much drive or the talent, skill, knowledge, etc. to produce anything truly useful.

	The Foundation was still willing to support the program even as a simple artists' colony ~~if needed~~. While the third generation was disappointing, it did not itself spell the end immediately. It should be noted that [[Joseph Manse]] was born in the third generation.		The Foundation was still willing to support the program even as a simple artists' colony.

	The third generation had promoted a great deal of interest in outside media, and the fourth generation was considerably more enamored. Obesity, which had been an issue since the colony's founding, became an epidemic in this era. Many of the colony's resources were diverted from workshop space to a series of crudely built but elaborate home theaters, video game arenas, and a series of ~~sort of~~ personal museums. While colonists were not able to directly order merchandise from outside, the long tradition of fine art had a small handful (maybe ten percent) producing some very fine, if not officially licensed work based on various outside media.

While colonists were not able to directly order merchandise from outside, the long tradition of fine art had a small handful (maybe ten percent) producing some very fine, if not officially licensed work based on various outside media. Most of this was of poor quality.

	~~Most of this was of poor quality, however.~~ Art, which had been largely in bad taste if not bad technique, had ~~grown to~~ simply bad. Literature was even worse; ~~of course~~ the colony had a one hundred percent literacy rate, but the quality of writing had gone into a very sharp decline. If the third generation was incompetent poets, the fourth were not even that, producing mainly poor-quality fictional works based on their favorite outside franchises. ~~Much like with art, literary~~ originality and innovation was gone. Not only did the third generation have very few self-styled "inventors", what little maintenance the colony required was ~~being~~ neglected.

	Most crimes were minor. The most common complaint came to be referred to as "borrowing", essentially stealing. Most common among the youth, many residents might see something they wanted or needed for a project, and "borrow" it from a neighbor, rather than order another and wait for delivery. There were crimes of passion, and of course vandalism was a frequent problem among young people.		Most crimes were minor.

	Most punishments consisted of a simple verbal chastisement, and occasionally revocation of privileges. For serious offenses, expulsion from the colony was an all-too-common occurrence. And, of course, anything that might be regarded as seriously criminal, would be punished outside (in the colony's history, there were a total of two murders, but culprits were caught and executed outside the colony).

	Aside from a few basics (no murdering, no stealing, etc.), Eutra had few rules. There was a robust, automated transportation system which negated the need for cars. The only real form of government was a group called "The Central Administration" which oversaw the distribution and usage of non-residential spaces. Anyone who had an idea or project that ~~qould~~ require more room than they had in their spacious homes had to apply to the administration. Further, any new couples looking to start a family had to apply for a house.		Aside from a few basics (no murdering, no stealing, etc.), Eutra had few rules.
