Cool Costa Rica

I have been learning about Costa Rica. It is a democratic republic government. That means the power is from the people, and the government is run by elected officials. The government is made up of the president, two vice presidents, and the members of the Cabinet. The president has a four year term, and is elected by the people, who have to be eighteen or older. I also learned about the education. There are public schools in every neighborhood, which you have to wear a uniform to. Kids go to elementary school for six years, and high school for five to six years. The first two years of high school are for education, the next two or three are provided for special training. Food in  Costa Rica is very important. One popular breakfast food is gallo pinto. Gallo pinto is a meal with rice, black beans, sour cream eggs, and fried bananas. A popular lunch meal is casados, which is rice with beans, meat or fish, fried bananas, white cheese, and a corn tortilla. Arroz con pollo is a popular dinner meal. It is chicken and rice. It was very cool and interesting researching Costa Rica!

Not Iphone, Iraq

                  The country I chose was Iraq. Iraq is a country in Asia surrounded by Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey. Iraq is quite a diverse country. First off they have a horrible economy. I think this because they had many wars and one is going on with people from their own. Those people formed a group called Isis. I think that I would be easier to fight them if they had more money. Their GDP is $14,100 while US GDP is $54,629.5. They also only make about 77.7B from exports and America makes 1.42T. They also have a Prime minister and a President while America has 1 president. The Prime minister has 2 assistants and is in charge of the government while the president is in charge of the state. Iraq also has the Parliament which is similar to the congress but the People on the Parliament has people serve for 4 year when people on the Congress can serve for 4-8 years. In my opinion I think this is a bad idea because then there would be new people each year meaning no experienced ones. One of the most important times in their history was when the dictator, Saddam Hussein, was president because he caused the Iran-Iraq war which cause quarter million deaths and billions in money. He also killed many people because of their race and if they didn't listen to him. These are some of the reasons why I decided to choose Iraq.
