5. “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.
