Architecture
The post office was designed resembling a shipping box with green and white exterior. It features an image of a shrike, the Chunghwa Post corrugated shopping boxes image and mangoes and onions, the local agricultural product of Fangshan. The roof features a large screen which opens up every hour.[1] It is also powered by solar energy.[4][5]
gollark: This seems like "anarchocommunism, but not actually anarcho- and not particularly -communism".
gollark: Central planning isn't very good and would quite plausibly be much worse than what we have *now*, and what are the benefits of this system exactly?
gollark: Well, you seem to have a different system in mind to them.
gollark: Some questions, then:- what form are they taking tax in- how big are the communities- where are things produced- how is production of things coordinated if it can't be done entirely by one community
gollark: Okay.
