Have you ever thought about creating your very own country? With your very own Government, such as Tyranny, Monarchy, Democracy, and Dictatorship. You can make your own set of laws to keep your citizens safe, or start a constitution to prevent from taking the rights of citizens. Or have a ruthless government which uses violence and power to maintain total control over the people. Or a government that gives the people power of the government, they can also vote for the leader and have the freedom to do anything that is legal. You can even have a government with a group of people to spread the power equally. You can even have a government with only one ruler that doesn't go by a constitution, and usually abuses his/her power. Mostly through powerful military.
Task 1: Choosing Your Government
Figure out which type of government you would like (Tyranny, Monarchy, Democracy, and Dictatorship), write five sentences for each government and choose which one you like.
Task 2: Creating Your Map
Draw a map of where your country is located, be creative, and label the name of your country. Draw a compass rose and a map key to show all the important places, draw a star to show where the capital is, color it and draw oceans and name them whatever you like.
Task 3: Creating Your Government
You will write a paragraph on how your government is going to work, what kind of laws are you going to have. What kind of government did you choose. Why you chose it, and how you are going to control the people.
Task 4: Short Story 
Write a story of how you ran your country and why you did it that way. Be original and don't copy others work. Be sure to put your name on it so you get credit.
