The Small Island. Living on the Small Island is considered an honor, though the realities of the situation make it more like an obligation than a duty members of the public are clamoring to take on.

It's only a month stint and necessities like food and water are provided daily, but it's also a month away from the comforts of home carrying out a largely ceremonial role where your only real company is The Chiliad Tree which, while storied, provides little conversation. Hundreds of years ago the honor was restricted to the clergy, even at one point hiding the tree within a small perimeter wall to prevent secular eyes from a glimpse, but over the years the grip of the church relaxed and the republic, in its various forms, took over the main governing roles, including protection of the Chiliad Tree and access to the Small Island. Today it's a bit like jury duty. Many citizens dread the monthly lottery and, though a peaceful break is welcome, an entire month is a bit long to be away from your daily responsibilities for most. Some families treat it as a coming of age moment with sons and daughters volunteering when they turn 18 as way of connecting with the past and instilling a sense of community and dedication. Finally there are the few clergy-members and worshippers remaining that continue treating The Chiliad as a relic, appearing off the coast of the island for prayer, volunteering regularly to care for the tree, and occupying the island for their ceremonies and rituals about 50% of the year. Many petitions have been proposed to return The Small Island and The Chiliad Tree to the permanent care of the church, but, as in most circumstances, the republic is reluctant to relieve any control.

Small Island, by Andrea Levy

“I yearned for home as a drunk man for whisky. For only there could I be sure that someone looking on my face for the first time would regard it without reaction. No gapes, no gawps, no cussing, no looking quickly away as if seeing something unsavoury. Just a meeting as unremarkable as passing your mummy in the kitchen. What a thing was this to wish for. That a person regarding me should think nothing. What a forlorn desire to seek indifference.”
