Short Assignment 3

For this assignment I decided to create my own country, The Republic of Christa. Even though it’s called the Republic of Christa the government is democratic. The population of this republic is around one million. It is located in the Caribbean’s so due to the climate and the environment their main source of income is trading cotton while they also export vegetables, fruits, sugar cane, and machinery equipment to different countries. They are the top country when it comes to producing cotton. Tourism is very active in this republic as well as due to the fact that they just recently reopened there borders to the outside world because they isolated themselves in

Due to internal pressure from its citizens and external pressure from World War II and also the refusal of the U.N. trading with any countries that practiced or supported communism; they turned to democracy and capitalism hoping that the future would be more promising then what was present at the time.
