1.) Students began the game by creating a family unit of 7 people for each of them to look after.

2.) students had a brainstorm session to create a country name, slogan, language, ethnicity, resources, flag, constitution, and political system.

3.) These are 2 of the 3 political parties created in the class:

=**Country of Canananada:**=

=**Gen-X**=


 * Tanisha, Karly, Heather, Kate, Troy, Jackson, Marianne, Jen**

Gen-X is the next best thing. But instead of bragging about what weve done and what we think we can do, we will go one step better and promise you what we will do

As a government


 * 1) Legalize marijuana
 * 2) Lower taxes
 * 3) Provide more and better jobs for poeple
 * 4) Provide free health care benefits for everyone
 * 5) Provide free daycare for single parents and families that need financial aid
 * 6) Provide your country with a better justice system
 * 7) Make your enviroment more eco-friendly
 * 8) Allow free edication for kids and teens

You can hold us to those promises! We are Gen-X, the generation for you. Join Gen-X. Join the revoltion!

=**Conservative Freedom Party**=



4.) Following the creation of the parties, students organized leaders' debates, elections, and a legislative session with the newly elected Prime Minister, cabinet, opposition, and gallery.

5.) Once the country was organized with a political system, we conducted an auction to have students buy property, land, and businesses for the game.

6.) Students began the game by renting out their property, buying energy units for their homes and businesses, and making food for others to buy. The idea of the game is to keep your family safe.

7.) Students were given an agenda (or ideology) to play the game. The political ideologies were used for students to play the game in a certain way to match real-life society. Students were not allowed to tell others their agenda. Students gained points by keeping their families safe, making money, and playing by the guidelines of their agenda.

8.) Town Hall meeting - students discuss issues relating to how the game is played and airing problems with life, government or with each other.

9.) Judicial Session - Students are brought to trial for charges against them.
