October in Morazán: Building, Belonging, and the Spirit of Voluntary Order

October brought both visible progress and quiet cooperation to Ciudad Morazán. Behind every construction milestone was a community that continued to strengthen through civility, initiative, and trust.

Neighbors used the Grupo Social Telegram channel to solve daily challenges—returning lost pets, finding repair services, and coordinating with Administration on water and street repairs. These small acts of voluntary problem-solving reveal Morazán’s deeper purpose: a city where cooperation replaces coercion.

Administrative updates reflected the same ethos. When repairs or delays occurred, residents received clear, transparent explanations. Ursula’s regular statements treated neighbors like customers, not subjects—an approach rooted in entrepreneurial governance.

Meanwhile, construction advanced steadily. The first and second floors of the new apartment building were completed, with the remaining units scheduled through November. The team also upgraded solar panels, relocated the school, and implemented new payment systems—all decided collaboratively in weekly meetings focused on solutions, not blame.

Community life flourished too. October’s highlights included a free Health and Vision Day and an Entrepreneurial Fair, both organized through local partnerships. Later in the month, Market Day filled the central park with vendors and visitors—a vibrant display of voluntary exchange that captures Morazán’s essence.

Even as roadblocks and protests erupted in the surrounding area, Morazán remained calm and productive. Residents and leaders focused on progress through enterprise, not demands.

By month’s end, preparations began for the November Open House and Halloween Celebration, postponed just one week so Ursula and Alex could represent Ciudad Morazán at the Free Cities Conference in Prague.

October’s lesson is clear: civilization advances through service, not force. Ciudad Morazán continues to demonstrate that prosperity, safety, and community emerge naturally where governance operates by consent and mutual respect.

Hi, I Am Joyce Brand

CEO Of Morazan Model Association

I am a woman who is passionate about freedom. I understand that freedom is an overused and misunderstood word. By freedom, I mean responsibility — specifically the responsibility of living without allowing any self-proclaimed rulers to make my moral judgments for me. A coercive government can impose negative consequences on me for disobeying its edicts, but I am free to the extent that I recognize my own responsibility for the risks I choose to take in following my own moral judgments. That is what it means to live free in an unfree world.

​The label that I use to describe myself is voluntaryist because it is the clearest word I can think of to describe my most important belief — that all interactions between human beings should be voluntary. There is never any moral justification for the initiation of violence or coercion. The Morazan Model Association explores the implications of that core belief.
