Invent Your Own Country

Here’s your chance to be in charge (and find out what makes a country a country)!

Team up with other students to write your own Declaration of Independence explaining what your new country is about; compose and record a national anthem; design a flag that symbolizes your country’s ideals; and make a 3-D map of your territory.

You decide what kind of government, laws, and economic system will help your country achieve its goals. (Tyrants beware! You may be overthrown by your “loyal” subjects!) And you and your team come up with holidays, traditions and maybe even a new language that can bind your people together.

At the end you’ll get a chance to display your country’s money, stamps, art, dance, music, clothing, food and technology at a class-wide Micronational World’s Fair.
