Christian and the Tort Wheel

So christian wants to create a democracy. He divides the island up into parcels, so everyone gets to be sort of governor of their own little parcel of land. Communal gardens are created. Everyone scours the timbers of the bounty to create cottages for themselves. And then they fish an what else is available resources to them, food wise, on the island. What they quickly discover was that there's evidence of a human touch on the island before they had arrived. There was evidence of gardening and a certain sort of geometry that doesn't exist in nature. So i'm assuming he's anointed himself president or dictato whatever of the island. Is that kind of the way
