“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.

“Create a Country” Project
• Write a five paragraph essay of how the
variable factors:
―government, laws, economic system, jobs,
religion(s), culture, etc.
for your country are based on and are
compatible with the nonvariable factors:
―location, landforms, climate, natural resources
of your country. How do these aspects of
your country work together to sustain life
for people who live there? Why do people
live where they do?
•
