Game Standards

3.2 Students formulate solutions to economic problems.      - My Country helps students formulate solutions by making us work through the need for more energy. It makes us work through this problem by telling us we don't have enough energy to run a business, so until we fix it we can't expand our country. Though instead of just having us build an energy plant we have to use natural energy from wind.

3.1 Students explain how different economic systems are organized for production, distribution and consumption of goods and services.
      - The different systems work with each other to create an economy. For example the transportation section transports people around to buy different products like shoes.


3.4 Students demonstrate an understanding of economical principles that influence individual financial planning
      - Every business makes money but the amounts they make are different. A business that has a more secure business plan than another business will make more money in the long run.

4.3 Students evaluate the impact of technology and how it has shaped history and influenced the modern world
      - Technology has influenced our world by letting us simulate running companies, towns, and countries. This helps us understand how to manage finances to keep a business, town or country alive.

4.2 Students analyze current events to better understand the world in which they live
      - When a new business opens, the money being put back into the economy grows. This happens by the business making money and allowing more people to work for them so that more people have money to spend.


4.4 Students explain how past events impact the present and the future
      - Past events such as making a bigger business impact present and future a lot. By making a business bigger it allows for more people to have jobs, it brings more people in and allows for more products to be produced and more services rendered.


5.1 Students interpret charts, maps and graphs to answer questions dealing with people, places, events or environments
      - We interpret maps of our country to know what is where and where we can build. We interpret the charts of how much more money we will make if we upgrade a certain business a certain amount of times.

5.3 Students demonstrate an ability to organize and process information about people, places and environments
       - We have the ability to organize the people by what they do as a job. Also, we have the ability to organize the country into different sectors like the business sector, the transportation sector and a residential sector.
