“Create a Country” Project

• Select one country from the chart to use as a foundation for your country. The location, landforms, climate, natural resources, and anything else that is not changeable will be the same for your invented country.

• Other factors that are variable, such as population, cities, government, laws, economy, jobs, religion(s), etc. will be decided upon by you.

• You will need to create a country that will work. The variable factors that you decide upon will need to be based on and be compatible with the nonvariable factors.
