I find the rigidity of employment in certain regions fascinating, but it leaves an unanswered question. What happens to the people who test above or below the range in which their country is situated. Is it a situation where if you do not have the require aptitude for a certain state's economy, you are then removed from that state? Is deportation involved. Also is their no social stratification? Let's say someone from Uganda tests into the 8-range. Is he doomed to work at the 3rd level his entire life, or is their stratification in which he can go to Europe to work?
I really love the sci-fi feel of this paper. I would love a bit more development on to what extent the UCE plays a role in people's lives as well as how they gained so much power. Also a clearer description of what levels are. I think that your idea of telling the chapters from different angles is also a great idea.
I love the start to your paper and the different point of perspective that you're developing for each character. As mentioned in class, you could delve deeper into what happens to the people who test higher or lower than where they are supposed to be? Do they get deported? Killed? Perhaps an uprising could occur here.
I think that the dystopia which you have created here has so much potential to develop into a really great forecast of the future. My only constructive comment at this point is that you need to evaluate how the state takes measures to eliminate citizens who do not reach the minimum requirements of the state. The premise of this is reminiscent of Divergent, and I would love to see how you handle those who do not test to the standards of the given state to which they belong.
