1. To analyze the factors that prevent nations from improving economically. 2. To develop an investment plan for your nation that will allow it to develop and prosper economically.

You are now the leaders of a developing country. It is your job to lead your country into the developed world. You have collected 60 million dollars in tax revenue from your citizens and you must properly invest that money in projects that will help your country grow and prosper. Project examples infrastructure, healthcare, technology and education

Once you have selected your investment projects there will be an event each day(Class). The events will be based off real life situations that happen every day around the world. The event may be positive or negative such as a new company opening a factory or a natural disaster such as a tornado. Depending on whether or not your country has invested properly and is prepared for the event you will rise or fall economically. If your country is not prepared you will lose one of your projects. If your country is prepared you will keep all your projects and possibly gain more money to purchase new ones.
