The government does not allow any non-fiction because they do not want history to repeat. Developments have been made to where schools are completely electronic. The government produces all of the materials produced in the city privately in the central government building. All materials produced are lighter than air but stronger than sapphire glass. No oil or petroleum based products are used. All power is produced by wind turbines.
