What do you think of this fantasy story idea of mine?

It takes place in the real world, on a lost and well-hidden island called Quiveria.

Quiveria is a Patriarchal Pentarch Monarchy, ruled by a party of five; the King, the General, the Prime Minister, the Archpriest, and the High Judge.

Quiverian society is megalomanical and dominating; it does fights with swords, spears, catapults, arrows, blow darts, rifles, revolvers, flintlocks, canons, tomahawks, daggers, survival knives, bullwhips, and slingshots. Basically, Quiveria is so obsessed with history that they dress themselves up as historical pioneers, pilgrims, soldiers etc. with a touch of anachronism, and also adding their patriarchal feel to it.

Quiverians practice a rustic form of Medieval Christianity along with Fertility worship and Warrior worship. Their church is called the Ministerium, and they services every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. It teaches that having multiple children is a blessing a sign of fortune, and also a way to dominate the world.

However, the Quiverian children do not have it easy; they are forbidden to play with each other (unless related by blood), they are either strictly home-schooled or educated in the Providence House (but forbidden to talk to each other), they are given many chores and projects with very little time to play but no sports. They are not allowed to date or go alone at night, they are too remain in their parent’s house until the parent finds them a husband/bride. Boys are taught manliness from their Dads, Girls are taught femininity from their Mothers. The Parents and Elders “train” their children instead of raising them. They want them to be proselytizers, leaders, breeding stocks and involved in politics.

If the children are disobedient, rebellious or unruly, they are beaten with belts and sticks, but if they are even more troubled, they are sent to Madame Pearl’s Child-Saving Detention Home where they be heavily monitored and disciplined. Madame Pearl is known as the ‘Child-Savor’ with her birch rod, lollipops, flowering apron and powered face.

The story is about a family of five who get lost on the island, and their children taken away from them and adopted by big families and are indoctrinated into their culture. The Parents must stop the people, save their children and other children, and rid Quiveria from their tyrannical rulers.

Inspirations; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Quiverfull movement, and the Duggars from 19 kids and counting.
