Korraldajaks

Korraldajaks is a decentralized cooperative network and a framework for participatory planning that operates across multiple municipalities in the fictional region of Eldoria. It emphasizes community-led decision making, transparent processes, and shared ownership of local projects. The name is said to derive from a local word for organizer, with a suffix indicating a collective practice.

Geographically, Korraldajaks spans coastal towns and inland villages rather than a single central city. It functions through a federated structure in which local councils manage day-to-day activities and a rotating regional council coordinates between communities. Participation is open to all residents, with particular attention to including youth, elders, and marginalized groups in planning and implementation.

The activities of Korraldajaks cover a broad range of public interest projects. Common endeavors include the creation and maintenance of public gardens, small-scale infrastructure improvements, community arts and cultural festivals, and the formation of worker cooperatives to operate local services. Funding typically comes from small grants, municipal support, and community fundraising, with most labor provided by volunteers and a growing number of paid coordinators to sustain larger initiatives. Planning processes rely on open charrettes, online dashboards, and publicly accessible minutes to ensure visibility and accountability.

Historically, Korraldajaks emerged from volunteer networks that formed after a flood in the Eldoria coast, formalizing into a cooperative framework around 2015. It has since expanded to encompass numerous municipalities and a steady stream of ongoing projects. Analysts note several benefits, including enhanced civic engagement and quicker mobilization for small-scale improvements, while critics point to uneven participation and potential influence by organized interest groups.
