This book fragment contains the first four chapters of Centiki: Mirror of the State, Volume 1 in the series The Chronicle of Felicia. It introduces the Antarctic State of Felicia and the unusual Centiki Exchange, run by librarians in the Paris catacombs.
Unlike Felicia, where everyone is equal, the Centiki world is organized into five clearance levels. The five volumes of The Chronicle of Felicia are conceived to relate Felician history and serve as manuals corresponding to the five clearance tiers. Jacques Persil, the author and narrator, was an accomplished detective who advanced quickly through the ranks. By reading the books and finding the clues hidden in their pages, anyone can follow the same path.
This PDF fragment of Centiki: Mirror of the State serves as the Centiki Level 5 Manual, the lowest clearance tier. Read the manual if you aim to gain access to the Centiki Exchange. In this fragment, the Level 5 clue of the Centiki game is revealed. To find it, the reader must read the entire manual and then travel to the catacombs. With the clue in hand, the reader will be able to find the Word of the Day and complete the Centiki Labyrinth by registering for the Centiki stock exchange simulation game.
Centiki and Felicia coexist and give purpose to each other. The Centiki Exchange is engaged in promoting ethical enterprise: the kind of company that creates prosperity without ecological damage, social upheaval, or human suffering. Felicia is the beneficiary of Centiki wisdom and rests on the financial foundation Centiki provides. That is why Centiki and Felicia links point to each other. The history of the State of Felicia and the evolution of Centiki are intertwined.
